Visitation Senior Studies Abroad in Italy

Delfina Mancebo, a senior at Visitation School, attended the Spoleto Study Abroad 2013 Arts & Humanities immersion program in the medieval town of Spoleto, Italy, this summer.  This educational journey featured a rich and dynamic curriculum in the arts.  Twice-weekly excursions to cultural centers such as Florence, Assisi, Tivoli, Siena and other historic cities offered students the opportunity to experience significant artistic, cultural and historic treasures firsthand. Delfina was part of a select group of students from around the country chosen for this intensive summer study abroad program; she participated in the photography program.

Visitation, an independent Catholic school for boys and girls in Montessori preschool through grade 6, and a college preparatory school for young women in grades 7-12, is an active member of the select consortium schools across the country that supports the Spoleto Study Abroad program mission.  Spoleto Study Abroad is committed to bringing an integrated style of learning to those students interested in pursuing their academic and artistic interests in an inspiring European setting.

In July 2014, Spoleto Study Abroad will offer a three-week summer program in creative writing, visual art, photography, drama, instrumental and vocal music.
