The methodology, curriculum and teaching style will be the same in each. However, students will have the important opportunity to study in Europe, live among architectural masterpieces, and visit the museums and galleries important to the classical tradition. At the same time, thanks to its university status, Florence Academy students will earn U.S. college credit for their coursework done at any of its three locations. |
