Pre-College Enrichment Florence

28 days | Pre-College Enrichment
TRIP SUMMARY

Trip Summary

Study and live this summer in one of Europe’s most beautiful cities, Florence, Italy. Filled with amazing art, world-class restaurants and breathtaking scenery, Florence is known as the birthplace of the Renaissance. During your morning course, choose to learn Italian, create a digital photo portfolio, cook like an Italian chef or become next season’s Versace. Our afternoon Florence activity highlights enable you to discover the workplaces of famous artisans, visit the workshop of a leather designer and appreciate the role of food in Italian culture. Florence has changed very little from its inception; it is a small, largely pedestrian city, overflowing with culture, making it one of the preeminent destinations for study abroad. This program prepares you for the academic and personal challenges that come with entering college. Enjoy a grand finale on the Amalfi Coast and Rome. When the four weeks are over, we promise that you will never want to leave!
