They're here....


After much planning and in some cases many hours of travel, our students have arrived. We have enrolled 60 students this year representing 16 different countries from South Korea to Russia to Scotland to Mexico to Columbia and to Canada, to name a few. Each of our students will have their horizons expanded this year by virtue of the friendships made here at the Canadian College Italy – The Renaissance School.

Our students have had a busy few days getting to know each other, settling into their residences and becoming familiar with Lanciano.

Their arrival from Rome on the CCI bus....



















....followed by our first dinner together at the Mercato.
























Mrs. DiCarlo D’Alessandro greeted everyone at our first morning assembly on Friday morning.





The faculty members escorted the students on a brief tour of Lanciano to get their bearings.







Our first lunch together was held at The Allegria.





After lunch, we held a series of brief orientation sessions.




















On Saturday, we enjoyed an afternoon at the beach at Casalbordino, some 20 kms. from Lanciano. The coolest place to be was in the water!
