Many of you wonder what kind of school I'm teaching at. It is called School Year Abroad and it takes about 60 American High School Juniors and Seniors and sends them to campuses in China, Spain, France and Italy. There was a campus in India last year, but it was moved to Vietnam and is a semester program for post-graduates. I am the Math teacher here in Italy.
The students flew into Rome and were bussed here to Viterbo and had a quick orientation here and then were paired with their host families. This will be the first of many school/work oriented postings this year, I think. There are 42 girls and 15 boys in the program in Viterbo this year.
SYA Italy 2009-2010
On one side, the students
On the other, the families
A family is called and their student is called and they meet for the first time. There are families in Viterbo that have hosted each of the 8 years the program has been in existence.
Most students will be housed in families with kids. Younger families were the cutest as the small children were so excited to get older brothers and sisters. One Italian man with a wife and 4 girls logically was assigned an American girl. I think I'll invite him to my apartment occasionally to get away from it all.
