SYA Italy opened in 2001 and is located in Viterbo, 64 miles northwest of Rome. The school is housed in a palazzo decorated with a collection of 16th century frescoes. Three languages are offered; Italian, Latin & Ancient Greek. Students typically enroll in six courses, including English, math, and Italian. Other courses are taught in English, but gradually incorporate more Italian as student language proficiency deepens. Applied Agroecology combines biology, microbiology, ecology, chemistry, and organic chemistry with a focus on sustainability. There is a broad range of co-curriculars that are available; sports, applied arts, and musical opportunities. The popular 'International Gemellaggio' club connects SYA Italy students with local Italian peers for language and cultural exchanges.
