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.
The walled Etruscan city of Tuscania is a charming, medieval town nestled in the Italian hillside outside of Rome. A rich collection of Italian, Etruscan and church history, Tuscania in many ways seems untouched by time.
Because of the city's smaller size, students are able to gain an authentic Italian cultural experience in this preserved city. Tuscania's close proximity to many of the country's other famous cities (Rome, Siena, Florence) conveniently positions students within reach of several of Italy's other wonders.
The Tuscania campus of the Lorenzo de' Medici School (LDM) is a private institution located in the old town center of this charming medieval city. Classes are held in an ancient building which underwent a full internal restoration in 2005, aimed at combining the elegance and history of old Italy with the updated design and technological elements of modern day.
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.
