Taste Italy While You Learn
Language comes alive through Italy’s most beloved traditions—food and wine. Students enjoy hands-on cooking classes, regional wine tastings, and the chance to explore Italian culture through its culinary heritage. Learn by doing... and by eating. Mangia bene!

Serve, Connect, Belong What truly sets IPSL apart is the opportunity to connect with local communities through volunteer service. Students contribute 10–15 hours per week with community-based nonprofit organizations, gaining meaningful insights, practicing Italian in real-life settings, and forming authentic, lasting relationships.
