The ancient Roman historian Marcus Tullius Cicero wrote, “We study history not to be clever in another time, but to be wise always.”
Summer is the perfect time to ditch the mundane and embrace the extraordinary with a history summer program. These programs invite you on a journey through time, allowing you to explore the rise and fall of empires, the intrigue of dynasties, and the defining moments of epochs that have shaped our world.
Transport yourself back to ancient times and explore the architectural marvels of the Roman Empire, the military might of Greece, or the mysteries of Egypt’s pharaohs. You won’t spend time memorizing dates and names in a summer history program — you’ll bring the past to life. With the guidance of experienced historians and educators, you’ll analyze narratives and primary sources to gain a deeper understanding of the events and figures that shaped our present.
Many programs incorporate travel opportunities, inviting you to walk the grounds where history unfolded. Stand in the shadow of the mighty Colosseum. Explore the ruins of Machu Picchu. Trace the footsteps of the revolutionaries in France. Imagine the final days of the Zealots in their final stand at Masada.
Enroll in a summer history program today and prepare to be captivated by the stories of those who came before us.
