Our students explored so many incredible architectural styles in Romania! From fortified churches to merry cemeteries, Transylvania's history is woven into the buildings and monuments found on nearly every street.
Our students spent the day at Bran Castle! Often linked to Dracula, the connection is more myth than history!
The most mesmerizing part of the castle is the story of Queen Maria, one of the most important figures in Romanian history!
What an amazing and exciting time they had!
Our students are turning compassion into action during their time abroad in Romania. Through a meaningful service project, theyβre working alongside local communities β building connections, supporting learners, and making a positive impact beyond the classroom.
This week, our students are taking you along on their incredible study abroad experience, Exploring Romania through Education and Service! Stay tuned all week and join us in cheering them on as they learn, explore, and grow beyond the classroom!
Congratulations to Our Outstanding Students!
