Prior Chinese or Italian knowledge is not required for American students.
Language Immersion Summer Programs for American Students (7th-12th grades):
The residential program gives American students, entering grades 7-12, a chance to study Mandarin or Italian for 2, 3, or 4 weeks while living on campus alongside students from Italy, China, and around the world. 
The program is divided into classroom instruction, off-campus cultural activities, on-campus sports/arts/specialty instruction, evening enrichment activities, and weekend excursions.
Students practice their language skills with their new international friends while participating in evening language enrichment activities (skits or talent shows, bowling, mini-golf, etc.). Weekend excursions to Boston, NYC, the beach, or an amusement park allow for additional opportunities to practice language skills and develop lifelong friendships.
There is no Italian or Mandarin proficiency level needed; beginners are welcome.
Cultural and Campus Activities:
Afternoon Activities: On and off campus activities enable students to have contin
uous opportunities to practice their language skills. The programs offered change weekly, allowing students to try many different activities. For on-campus days: students can choose the activities in which they will participate with International students. The activities will provide students with an opportunity to improve their communications skills while enjoying social time.
Activities include: tennis, basketball, soccer, robotics, theater, art, music, swimming, photography, and computers, softball, field hockey, dance, outdoor adventure, writing, and many more. Not all activities are available each week.
Evening Enrichment: Students assemble in small groups to participate in hands-on activities that demand individual participation and language practice. The activities will be experimental endeavors that allow students to explore a wider range of subjects and skills than is possible in our academic program. The range of activities will vary. For example, students may work on a theater production or travel to an off-campus recreational activity.
Weekend Program: Weekends allow the students to travel throughout the New England area to explore American historical, cultural, and recreational sites. Each weekend provides a mix of these types of trips to ensure that students find their visits enjoyable as well as educational. There is an additional charge for the optional weekend trip to New York City.
