Italy

Art, architecture, and adventure abound in this culinary paradise

To close out the school year, our students head to Italy, the country with the most UNESCO World Heritage Sites in the world (58), which include amazing historical landmarks, cultural sites, and natural wonders. 

Italy’s extensive history and cultural heritage will provide the perfect backdrop for projects of all types and our unique take on place-based learning. It’s an opportunity to explore ancient ruins, Renaissance art, and architectural masterpieces, offering insights into Western civilization, art history, and architectural design. 

And what would a term in Italy be without culinary adventures? Students will undoubtedly enjoy traditional dishes like tortellini in brodo at some of Italy’s many quaint eateries, fostering a connection with the city that can only be forged through pasta.

Potential Projects

  • Studying Venice’s environmental and infrastructural challenges due to climate change and heavy tourism by investigating how these factors affect the city’s unique ecosystem and historical sites.

  • Delving into Milan’s fashion world by visiting leading fashion houses, engaging in design workshops, and interacting with marketing executives to learn how the world’s largest brands design their garments, market their products, and address sustainability concerns.

  • Exploring the rich culinary traditions of Bologna and the city’s vast contributions to Italian gastronomy by experiencing traditional food-making processes, organic farming practices, and the influence of cultural heritage on Bologna’s culinary arts.

  • Participating in supervised archaeological digs at some of Rome’s many historical sites to learn about the techniques and challenges associated with excavation work in the modern age.
