Upper School Global Travel Trip to Italy 🇮🇹🎨🕍🍦

From standing beneath the Pantheon's iconic oculus and exploring the ruins of ancient Rome to wandering the cobblestone streets of Siena and San Gimignano, students immersed themselves in Italy's rich architectural and artistic history. They experienced the grandeur of Florence's Duomo, studied the public spaces that have shaped Italian community life for centuries, and gained a deeper appreciation for the artists and innovators who helped define the Renaissance.

In Venice, students explored the city's remarkable architecture from both land and water, learning how engineers built a thriving city atop a lagoon while discovering the enduring influence of Italian craftsmanship and design. Students connected with contemporary artists, participated in hands-on drawing and painting workshops, and experienced daily life in a Tuscan agrotourismo. The trip brought history, art, and culture to life, offering students an unforgettable opportunity to experience the connection between Italy's past and its creative future.
