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!
