Gain a global perspective in leadership this summer!

While the U.S. and European school systems confront many of the same issues, their approach towards resolving these matters is often different. Therefore, this 2 week program in Italy aims to introduce students to the global dimension of education as it relates to leadership in the US and beyond.

As part of this dynamic experience students gain a unique perspective in leadership through school visits and service learning, all while exploring the similarities and differences between school structures and leadership models in the US and Italy.
