Dear Parents, 

I am delighted to inform you that Aristoi Classical Academy will offer an optional ten-day capstone trip to Italy in June of 2027 for rising Juniors and Seniors - the classes of 2028 and 2027.  At the recommendation of our Superintendent, Mr. Mueller, I have worked with Luther Tours to design a customized itinerary that includes stays in Rome & Florence with day trips to Pompeii, Assisi, Siena, & San Gimignano. 

Please see the full details in the link here. Approximate cost per student with airfare is $4,300-$4,900 depending on the number of students who attend. There is a $100 discount for those who sign up by June 15, 2026.  I am also looking into fundraising opportunities that can help our families finance this opportunity for their students. 

Mr. Mueller and I are hosting an informational session on Monday, May 4, 2026 at 6:00 PM in the Griffin Center Cafeteria, in which we will cover all the details of the trip, including the itinerary, payment details, student supervision, and travel information and planning.  He and I will chaperone along with members of our faculty.  

In the interim, please reach out to me if you have any questions.  I am excited to offer this opportunity to travel to one of my favorite places in the world!

Warm regards, 

Kathryn Locheed
