Student Testimonials
“Over my past three years at New Providence High School, I have not had an experience as amazing or impactful as my time in Italy. Being in Italy not only allowed me to immerse myself in the Italian culture, but also forced me to use the knowledge I have from taking Italian. Being able to see and experience things in person that I have previously only seen online and in textbooks has been one of the biggest eye opening experiences of my life.”
~Julia Peldunas, Class of 2024, taking AP Italian Language and Culture in September 2023

“Being in Italy allowed me to experience the lasting impacts of Ancient Rome. Many of the buildings and churches had Latin written on them, which gave me the opportunity to translate. The trip also sparked an appreciation for Italian culture and makes me excited to travel in the future.”
~Sofia Belisario, Class of 2023, completed the online Latin sequence

“The trip to Italy was just amazing - so many beautiful sights and amazing art everywhere you looked. It was mind boggling to see the art we studied for years in person.”

"The Italy trip was amazing! Seeing the art all over Italy, like the Sistine Chapel, made me appreciate the effort that goes into true fine arts. I also feel that being in Italy surrounded by the language allowed me to connect to what I learned in class.”
~Isabella DeLuca, Class of 2025, taking both AP Italian Language & Culture and AP Studio Art in September 2023
