Last week, Vicenza High School welcomed students from the Istituto Tecnico Economico (ITE) “Guido Piovene,” a local Italian high school specializing in business, finance and tourism for their annual exchange program. This well-established partnership provides a unique opportunity for students from both schools to experience a different educational system, connect with peers, and hone their language skills.

“The school is functional and provides all students with a laptop to use for homework. I would definitely like to return to this school, an experience I will not easily forget,” she said. In addition to attending a variety of lessons, students also shared the energy during the last home basketball games at the gymnasium, alongside the seniors’ recognition ceremony.
