In the Heart of the Renaissance is our standard two-week art history seminar tour in Italy specially designed for high schools and colleges. Our cultural expedition takes place in Rome and Tuscany (Florence and the region of Siena) and is a magical combination of discovery walks, art history lessons, museums, down time, art making (optional), and yes... shopping.
There is a growing need in smaller universities, colleges and high schools to enrich their curricula by offering out of country classes or seminars on art, architecture, art history, museums and the rich treasures of cities. Unlike the Ivy League establishments in North America, the majority of our educational institutions do not have their own European infrastructure in order to internationalize their programs. We provide a significant learning experience to all participants who join us in some of the world’s most magical and beautiful locations.
This program is offered to educational institutions which may select two weeks (upon availability) between spring and early summer for their students’ annual cultural expedition.
