For two weeks in June-July, students are welcomed to the island of Lesvos, Greece, a center of learning since ancient times and a bridge between Europe and Asia. Here, they attend courses on subjects of their choice. They will spend time integrating into the local community by taking part in community service projects, and they will travel throughout the island on daily excursions to the ancient sites, museums, and monasteries. Our aim is to provide students with the opportunity to experience Greek village life by immersing them in this culture. We hope to enhance students' critical thinking skills by introducing them to subjects outside the traditional high school curriculum.
