There is no better place to have an amazing adventure abroad and experience the world outside your home than the birthplace of Western Culture itself! If you're interested in history, architecture, art, culture, and adventures, our Greece & Italy: Western Civilization program is the perfect destination to put on your summer calendar. Our high school summer program in the Greek Isles and southern Italy is the educational adventure you have been looking for. Historical and cultural treasures dating back over 3000 years await you to explore them. Few other European destinations can rival Greece and southern Italy for historical and cultural relevance. Come join us this summer and experience this enchanting journey for yourself! Live with other participants in shared accommodations within walking distance of the city's most famous landmarks! “Homestays” are not a part of our programs; our trips are designed to give students a “pre-college” dorm life experience.
