Why study Italian?

Choose ITALIANO at SKHS!!!

•  It may be part of your heritage and/or you want to be able to not only visit Italy and be able to speak to the people of the country, but perhaps even study there one day!

• Italy is the #1 most popular study abroad destination in the world! Why not learn its language?

• It is the SECOND most widely spoken language in Europe!  - Yuqo (2020)

• Italian at SKHS has a long history of success. Our students place on the National Italian Exam every year and we often have top scorers in the state and national levels! You can be one of those students! 

• SKHS Italian students perform very well on the AP Italian Language and Culture Exam as well.  See last year's results below! Students take the AP Italian Language and Culture during their 4th year of Italian.
