BOLOGNA Residential Immersion: Italian Language & Cuisine
From shoes and cars to art and opera, in Italy everything is created with two key ingredients: beauty and passion. They are also the ingredients of everyday life in Italy and have been for centuries. Our students can choose Italian language immersion and cuisine in Bologna, Renaissance art history and studio art in Florence, or Italian language and immersion in the southern town of Sorrento. On our summer programs in Italy, students can discover the language, culture, art and cuisine of one of the world’s most beloved nations.
In the Spotlight: Western Civilization
Academic Journey to Ancient Greece and Rome, Renaissance Florence and the French Enlightenment!
Follow in the footsteps of Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, Pericles, and Alexander the Great! Experience the Italian Renaissance first-hand while viewing Michelangelo’s David in the Galleria dell’Accademia! Go behind the scenes of the French Revolution and Enlightenment while exploring Paris! From the Acropolis to the Louvre, our pioneer program on Western Civilization is designed for adventurous and motivated students who are eager to learn first-hand about the origins and evolution of Western thought, culture and art, and will take you on a whirlwind four-week trek through Athens, Rome, Florence, and Paris!
The program follows the path of Western Civilization from Ancient Greeks to Ancient Romans, continuing to the Middle Ages, Renaissance and, finally, to the Enlightenment. The students will read and discuss the works of key authors from each historical era, while exploring important monuments and museums. They will also have time to enjoy themselves, visit the local sites, attend recreational activities, participate in sports, and make plenty of friends!
A typical day will start with an excursion to a historical site or a museum, followed by a lecture or a group discussion. After lunch, the students will participate in recreational activities or will have free time to explore the contemporary sides of our key destinations: Athens, Rome, Florence and Paris. In the evenings, students will also have activity options such as: outdoor concerts, cafés, time with friends and other relaxing activities. The weekend excursions will complement the academic program by taking students to many fascinating regional sites: Delphi, Pompeii, Siena, Versailles and many others.
So if you can't decide between Italy, France, or Greece...why not try them all in an exciting 4-week adventure that will not only introduce you to new friends and give you the time of your life, but boost your college applications at the same time!
