Q.Anyone know what school hours are in Italy? A.School six days a week 4 days , 5 hours plus 2 days , 7 hours equals 34 hours a week

Hi!At the elementary school the hours is this:every day six hours of lessons,two days at week seven hours and the saturday the italian students go to school,but depends,some school go also on saturday,other no.Sorry for my bad american,but i'm from Italy!Hi!

It depends on a schools' choice. They can decide not to go on Saturdays, in this case the average timetable from mon to fri is from 8.30 until 4.20. If they go on Saturdays the daily timetable is shorter.

I'm Italian (sorry if I do something wrong, and you do not understand something) However school times here in Italy vary greatly ... For example I live well south and when I went to school (now university) would go at 8o'clock and went out some day at 1, a few days to 2, but I know that the North Italy have these times, because they eat very early (around 12:30, but here we do not eat before 2) and out of school around 12 ... I do not know how they can recover the hours... Regard to Saturday ... well, it depends ... some schools have Saturdays off, others no

Hi! I'm from South Tyrol, it's a predominantly German speaking province (~3/4) in Northern Italy, inhabited by Austrians, Italian settlers and Ladin people (latter are a small indigenous ethnicity). There are schools in three languages, German, Italian and Ladin, but the school system itself is Italian (I guess it's the same as the Anglo-American one): - Elementary school (ital. scuola elementare), 5 years - Middle school (scuola intermedia), 3 years - High School (scuola media superiore), 3 to 5 years I can't really talk about school hours in Italy, since we are an autonomous region and have traditionally different holidays and schedules adoptet from the Austrian system. "School hours" are usually referred to 50 minutes classes. I don't remember anymore about how long every day was. Usually elementary and middle schools have always the same system. I had Monday until Saturday from 8 o'clock to 1 o'clock. In high school, there are differences between the types of high school (language lyceum, technical school, commercial school etc.) I made a school about tourism, it had 38x 50min per week, twice at morning and afternoon, i.e. Mo, Wed, Fri 8:00 - 12:45; Tue, Thu 08:00 - 13:15 + 14:15 - 16:30; Sat 08:00 - 12:15. But there are some with only 32x 50mins and I guess there are schools in Italy with even less. Hope I could help! bye

Weekdays (Monday-Friday) - 08:00 - 13:15 + 14:15 - 16:30 8am - 1.15pm + 2.15pm - 4.30pm Saturday- 08.00 - 12.15 8am - 00.15 pm

Yes but they are private. They cost alot of money. If you're in secondary school, I suggest holding through (seeing your previous question) and saving that cash for University (that can be in those countries :) )

they have them in a stand at cvs/walgreens. They will load money there, but they charge 5 dollars. Also, amscott does the same
2 :
You need a bank debit card on your checking account at your bank. Prepaids won't work overseas.
3 :
Do you know what you really need? That's a credit card. Ask your parents to make you an authorized user on one of their cards You will get a credit card in about 10 days in the mail. There are a couple of companies that are good for traveling outside the country. Capital One offers a card that has no foreign transaction fee. This fee can be as high as 3% of every purchase you make. It may carry and annual fee - which I'm against, but worth looking into. Also discount brokerage firms offer credit cards that waive this fee. No annual fee. Ask your parents if they have such an account and ask them to apply for a credit card and make you an authorized user on it. Do not use Amex or Discover to travel overseas. These are not accepted everywhere. You never know if these silly debit cards will work in other countries. Some don't even work at some stores. /

1. You can purchase anything sold by a merchant that accepts Visa. 2. A TRUE debit card draws from the balance of a checking account. You DON'T put money on the card. You deposit it into the checking account. There are PRE-PAID visa cards available. Read the terms on the card or call the customer service number printed on the back for instruction on adding funds. Some cards are preloaded for a fixed amount and you can't add more. 3. Same as answer 1. You can use a Visa card wherever Visa is accepted. If in doubt, contact the card issuer in advance. Come banks may consider overseas usage 'suspicious activity' if you don't normally use the card overseas. It can't hurt to let them know before hand that the charges will be legitimate. EDIT: ibu guru: The merchant contract used by Visa International requires merchants that accept Visa to accept ALL Visa cards. If they don't accept prepaid Visa cards, they can't accept ANY Visa cards.

How do I convince my ex-wife to let our 5 yr old son to visit me in Italy for his 1st grade year of school
How do I convince my ex-wife to let our 5 yr old son to visit me in Italy for his 1st grade year of school?
I'm in the military and stationed in Italy, I live literally around the corner from a school where a lot of the international students in kindergarten through 8th grade. I have my mother living with me, as she was rendered homeless, however, the ex-wife does have issues with that. I have two years left over here and think it would be an absolutely wonderful idea if our son came to spend his first grade year here in Italy, making new friends, learning a different language, spending quality time with his Dad, and getting to see a new environment. The ex-wife has said that she does not think that it is a good idea. I'd like some feedback on what others feel about the subject and how they would go about convincing someone that it is a good idea.

You should let her know that it will be a good cultural experience for him. Not many kids, or even adults get to travel and see another country. And she'd be holding him back from something that he may appreciate his whole life. It will be a great memory for him, and if he has the opportunity,she should let him go.
2 :
Though your son is young, i think that is a wonderful idea. He could have so many new experiences. Im not sure how to convince your ex wife though, because school is supposed to be starting soon, but you can try to talk with her and give her all the reasons as to why it would be a great opportunity. And tell her that the fact that because your son is starting first grade when he comes back for 2nd it wont be too hard for him to readjust. Also see if maybe it would be possible for her to go to Italy when your son goes on a break for school. Good luck, it sounds like a wonderful opportunity for your son.
3 :
Well, it sounds like a good idea in theory, but in reality it may not be. Children that young need stability and they don't need to be bounced around. Being away from his mother for a year may be traumatizing for him. At his young age, he won't understand why he's there in the first place and he may not appreciate your original intentions of exposing him to new languages and cultures. Maybe you can work it out to where he comes to visit you in the summer. He would still get the exposure without turning his world upside down. I know this may not be the answer you were looking for, but I'm just trying to be honest. I raised three children and even though they were all very intelligent at that age, they were also very innocent and vulnerable.
4 :
Gather information for her to look at and absorb herself..... School ciriculum / calendar A photo of the school & the playground. Your neighborhood. Would grandmother be helping out with daycare issues....let your ex know that your son will be well cared for either by her or a stand in daycare. If you promise to return him after the school year...do so. Letting your child go to a foreign country is very scary. I did it with my two children as they were introduced to thier step mother. The best thing you can do is try to assuage her fears. Work with her as much as possible....it may net you the desired result.
5 :
Firstly, does your son speak Italian? Do you have regular contact with your son now, and before this? How long have you been posted overseas, and would he feel comfortable with you? If the answer is no to both those questions, because of the distance involved and cultural differences, how do you think your son is going to cope in a different country amongst people he barely knows? Does you Ex have a good relationship with you? Or could she fear that once your son moves with you, you will not let him return home? Is that something she thinks you might do? Is that something you have contemplated? After all, a year would give you strong custody rights in a lot of places. And if your Ex has a problem with the Mother-in-law and she now lives with you, and so will have a major influence over the child should he move with you, why do you think she'd allow it? There's a lot to consider, so I hope you and your ex can work through the issues to find what is best for your son.
6 :
Personally, I would only allow it if my ex-husband was an honest, reliable, responsible and respectable man and father. If there was any cheating, lying, violence or abuse during the marriage, then NO WAY would I let my 5-year old child go to him overseas, because his past behaviour would indicate he was not trustworthy or caring. The reason: 5 years old is very young, and a year is a long time, and Italy is far far away. Yes, it might be a wonderful bonding time for you and your son, and yes it would be a fantastic cultural opportunity for your son, but I really believe that you will have your work cut out for you trying to convince your ex-wife to allow it. As I said, 5 years is very young, and a mother doesnt like to let a small child out of her sight for so long.

a mother misses her kids and wants to see them everyday .. the thought of her kid living in a far away country and that she can't see him whenever she wants to easily is hurtful ur idea is a wonderful idea don't get me wrong .. but a mother can't stay very far away from her son

What universities in UK/Ireland recognize the american high school diploma
What universities in UK/Ireland recognize the american high school diploma?
I will hopefully get a high school diploma in USA this year. Which are the other entry requirements for EU students (i live in italy even though i'll have an american high school diploma, not an italian one - can i be considered a EU student anyway?)? Finally, how much do universities cost in UK/Ireland?

I don't know about the U.K. but I do know how the Irish system works: Irish students apply for entry to univerities and colleges through a centalised points-based system. Students from other E.U. member states are accepted on the same basis as Irish students (adjusted for the standards of educational certification in their home country) but, instead of being processed through the centralised system, they have to apply directly to individual colleges or universities. The costs for E.U. students are the same as for Irish students (i.e. funded by the taxpayer, except for some intiial registration fees of up to รข‚¬1500... although it looks increasingly likely this will change in the very-near future). As for recognition of your American diploma, your best option would be to directly contact whatever university or college you are interested and and ask them. Once you are operating outside the Irish points-system (as you will be, unless you studied in Ireland) then each college or university imposes it's own (broadly-similar, but significantly different in some particular instances) requirements-for-entry on prospective students. Finally, if you are American (and not actually an Italian citizen), your course likely won't be subsidised by the tax-payer and you'll have to pay full fees anyway which, again, vary, depending on the particular course you want to enroll in.

I may be going with EF tours to Italy, France, and Switz with a group from my school. I want to know anything you can tell me, details, whether you liked it. Also, if you visited any of these places how much extra money did you spend each days, breakfast, dinner, and most lunches are already included in the original balance. Thanks!
