"Your enthusiasm for the arts and for life as a whole will be an inspiration to me for the rest of my life. AHA has helped me to realize where I want to go. You have given me a future I could have never conceived on my own. It changes lives for the better."

Tom Sutcliffe, Spring 2006

Summer Holiday Courses in Northern Italy

The Italy Tour is a rare and special thing for a holiday. It is an eclectic combination of holiday, learning and travel which aims to give students an enlightening two weeks.

The course places the art, architecture and sculpture of Italy within the broader context of Western Civilization while opening the eyes of students to art.

Within the two weeks students will have a taster of Italian lifestyle and will enjoy Italian food, wine and music in the balmy summer heat.

You will spend 4 nights in Venice, 5 nights in Florence and 5 in Rome, and there will be three free mornings/afternoons included to enjoy outings such as the summer jazz festivals and exhibitions.

Students should drop any of the ideas they have about teachers versus students, as do all our tutors, everyone jointly embarks on an experience far removed from a ‘school trip’. Our brilliant tutors are dynamic, enthusiastic experts from various academic fields. They roll back the disciplines of formal education and provide an inter-disciplinary approach that includes (to name a few) philosophy, history, theology and mythology.

Come and join us in Italy for two weeks down the peninsula with a well structured and fabulous programme of art, architecture and Italian fun.
