High School Student Travel Abroad Opportunity
Summer 2027
Step beyond the classroom and into history itself as you journey through Greece and Italy—the cradle of brilliant minds and world-changing ideas. Walk the sunlit islands where Pythagoras shaped mathematics, and explore the ancient streets where Galileo dared to question the universe. Here, STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) aren’t just studied—they come alive in the very places they were born.
Climb the steps of legendary temples, wander through awe-inspiring museums, sail across crystal-blue waters, savor unforgettable cuisine, and immerse yourself in two of the most influential cultures in human history. Along the way, you’ll discover how ancient discoveries laid the foundation for the modern innovations shaping Greece and Italy today.
This isn’t just a trip—it’s a journey through time, creativity, curiosity and STEM that will stay with you long after you return home.
