The A&HST is based at the International Center for the Study of Italian Language and Culture in the heart of Siena, Italy. It offers a unique program based on a combination of Italian language and culture, service learning, and academic courses in music and other arts, humanities, social studies, and business. Most courses are taught in Italian, with some English used in some courses.
The A&HST’s philosophy is that of full immersion in Italian language and culture. The program offers Italian language classes for highly motivated beginners, as well as intermediate and advanced students, using a teaching method based on Full Immersion: Culture, Content, and Service (FICCS).
