Supervision Level for Florence, Italy

Supervision level  

The supervision level for this program is LOW. 

This program is intended for the mature teen 16+ who is comfortable with a fair amount of independence.  Students are accompanied by school staff during class time or on school-organized activities.  At all other times they are free to explore Florence and the surrounding areas by themselves or with friends (recommended as it’s more fun!).  

While there is no formal curfew, if students are not behaving in a manner considered acceptable for their age, homestay parents will report this to school staff and this could result in expulsion from the program without refund.   For more information please contact us toll-free on 1 888 386 1411.

Note for parents

Italy is a country where people of all ages tend to stay out quite late at night. 

Dinner is often not eaten until 8:00 PM and many Italian teens consider it very unfashionable to go out before 10:00 PM. During the summer months the streets of any Italian city or town are crowded until 1:00 or 2:00 AM and the lack of curfew for this program reflects this lifestyle. 

Please call us toll-free on 1 888 386 1411 if you would like a more in-depth understanding of Italian culture and what your son or daughter will experience while in Italy.
