Students from West Orange High School embarked on an unforgettable 10-day journey through Italy, an immersive experience that brought language, history, and culture vividly to life. Designed for juniors and seniors, the trip offered students the opportunity to step beyond the classroom and into the heart of Italian culture, aligning with the vision and mission of the World Languages Department: helping them grow as globally competent, multilingual, and culturally responsive individuals. The group departed on March 27 and returned on April 5.
The adventure began in Rome, where students explored some of the world’s most iconic landmarks. From the elegance of Piazza di Spagna and the beauty of Trinità dei Monti to the lively atmosphere of Piazza Navona, every corner revealed history and artistry. Students marveled at the Trevi Fountain and admired Bernini’s masterpiece, the Fontana dei Quattro Fiumi. They meandered through the historic Campo de’ Fiori, walked along the Tiber River to Castel Sant’Angelo, and explored its prisons and dungeons.
