The most complete Italy-focused Study Abroad Program

“IFA was a popular program within my circle of friends. I decided to go to Italy for 6 months and it was amazing!” - Josh T.


IFA is not just a language course. It’s a way to live your Italian chapter.
You will attend classes, but your real education will happen at the market, the neighborhood café, and the Friday night dinner with new friends.
You won’t live in a student bubble. We plug you into Italian life, giving you the tools to navigate it with confidence.
Our programs replace the 'outsider' experience with deep immersion.
We handle the logistics so you don't have to waste time figuring out how to survive. Instead, you focus on making connections and learning Italian.
Whatever your goal, we make it possible to integrate into the Italian lifestyle immediately!
