This year's International Educational Trip to Italy begins in Florence with a short walking tour exploring the Renaissance splendor of Florence: Santa Maria del Fiore, Piazza del Duomo, Baptistery of San Giovanni, Piazzo della Signoria Ponte Vecchio, and San Miniato's spectacular views. Our group will see such highlights as Michelangelo's David and the open air leather markets. On Day 3 we travel to Siena, which is famous for its' food, views, and horse races. During our cooking class there, we will learn to make different types of pasta and taste our creations. We will also visit Tivoli and on to Rome for dinner. During our time in Rome, we will tour St. Peter's Cathedral, the Vatican Museum, and Sistine Chapel, the Pantheon, Piazza Navona, and the Trevi Fountain. We will definitely find a good place to enjoy gelato or an espresso! Next, we head south towards Naples to the ancient city of Pompeii. Time permitting, we will visit Spurlonga, the site of Tiberius' dining room and monumental decor. We will visit the Bernini famous works, walk through Villa Borghese, enjoy a little shopping, and much more in our final day in Rome. Farewell dinner and home to Kansas!
International Educational Travel
International travel has been a long standing tradition since 1998-99 at Bishop Seabury Academy. Our trips, held each year during Spring Break, promote individual academic growth by providing students with personal experiences of what they study. As extensions of the classroom, they are designed to complement the history, art, language and theater courses taught at Seabury. Students have the opportunity to see and explore monuments, art, and historical sites and learn from professional guides and/or experienced Seabury faculty. These trips help our students to develop an appreciation for other cultures and ways of life, as well as give students a forum for conversing with native speakers.
- ALL airfare, hotels, meals, transportation, museum and guide fees and tips are included in cost.
- Open to any Seabury student, grades 6-12.
- Held annually during Seabury's Spring Break.
- Each trip is preceded by several meetings with parents and students, both to discuss practical aspects such as packing and conduct, and to offer students videos, presentations, and museum visits here in Lawrence to prepare them intellectually and culturally for their experience abroad.
- Seabury chaperones accompany the student group.
- Limited space available.
