At Summerfuel we are particularly proud of our extraordinary program directors, staff and faculty. We believe that strong, nurturing and experienced leadership sets the tone for a successful program. The program is run by a senior staff that consists of a Director assisted by a Residential Director, Activities Director and Academic Director as well as a team of RAs (Residential Advisors) all of whom live in residence with the students, and have had experience living or studying in Italy. Our senior staff often returns year after year and both they and the RAs go through a rigorous selection process and pre-program orientation.
The leadership team and program structure emphasizes cultural immersion through personal attention, high quality academics, and exciting cultural and recreational programs so that students learn experientially by doing. Students learn, make friends and have fun through the support and guidance of the dedicated and caring staff. Although students are often encouraged to explore independently we maintain a minimum ratio of 1 staff member for every 10 students and the safety and security of our students is an absolute priority.
