Whether reading by the pool, on a road trip, or curled up indoors escaping the Texas heat, we encourage students to dive into their books early and pace themselves throughout the summer.

Happy reading, Griffins!

Aristoi Classical Academy is offering an optional 10-day capstone trip to Italy in June 2027 for current Juniors and Seniors (Classes of 2027 and 2028). The trip includes visits to Rome and Florence, with day trips to Pompeii, Assisi, Siena, and San Gimignano.

The estimated cost is $4,300–$4,900 per student, including airfare (final pricing available in late July).

Mrs. Locheed will host an informational session over Zoom on Tuesday, August 4 at 6:30 P.M., in which we will cover all the details of the trip, including the itinerary, payment details, student supervision, and travel information and planning. Mr. Mueller and Mrs. Locheed will chaperone along with members of our faculty. If you attended the session in May or June, you have already received the majority of the information, but you are still welcome to attend as there will be opportunities to ask questions.  

Additional updates, including finalized airfare, will be shared in late July. Please reach out with any questions.
