Overview
Athena Study Abroad was developed in an effort to bring study abroad back to what it was intended to be - true, cultural immersion programs designed by knowledgeable, caring professionals.
Another great reason to study with Athena is the S.O.S. (Students Offering Support) program. A percentage of Athena's proceeds are donated to a chosen world charity through S.O.S., which allows students to give back to the world that welcomed them during their semester abroad. Because we at Athena like giving back, we also give every participant a FREE iPod or Elph digital camera, just for traveling with us.
Studying abroad in beautiful Florence, Italy means living in one of the most artistically and culturally rich cities in the world. From the regal Renaissance and Medieval architecture of the buildings that line the city streets, to the priceless works of art that line the walls of the Uffizi gallery, beauty and culture surround you at every turn in this richly diverse city.
With one of the largest international study abroad student populations in the country, Florence is a perfect blend of old-city tradition with modern-day energy.
The Florence campus of the Lorenzo de' Medici School (LDM) is a private institution located among several buildings in the center of this charming Renaissance city. The campus' main building dates back to the 13th century and, before being renovated, was originally a convent and church. Medieval frescos and sculptures still adorn the walls and ceilings of the classrooms, ensuring a beautiful and historical holistic experience for students - both in and out of the classroom.
LDM is equipped with modern computer and language labs, comfortable classrooms, knowledgeable faculty, diverse course offerings (from language or theater, to archaeology or history). One of the primary missions of the Lorenzo de' Medici School, which has been operating its main campus in Florence for more than 30 years, is to promote global education through authentic cultural immersion programs and a diverse international student population.
