Spring Break Trips

Each year Curry College students have the opportunity to spend their spring break travelling abroad and experiencing life in a wide variety of foreign countries.  Traditionally hosted by Foreign Languages professor Jeannette DeJong along with EF (Education First) College Study Tours, these educational, fun and safe trips have included visits to Rome, Paris, Florence, Amsterdam, Brussels and London.

And although these getaways are indeed educational in nature, there is plenty of time for students to just enjoy the experience of exploring foreign lands and languages and becoming part of the native culture for the week.  Notable recent stops along the way have included:

• The Louvre
• The Eiffel Tower
• Musée d'Orsay
• The Tower of London
• The British Library
• The London Eye
• The Anne Frank House/Museum
• and much, much more!

• Photo Gallery:  2012 Trip Entitled, 'European Quartet' (Amsterdam, Brussels, Paris, and London)

"I have been so fortunate to be able to provide a way for students to go to Europe who might not otherwise get that opportunity. Parents, especially, like that these trips are supervised and organized. I love seeing the students get a chance to have these enriching experiences," says DeJong.
