Hello Newton Community,

We are happy to announce the Prague Summer Program. SInce 1990, we have travelled to Central Europe to experience the history and culture of Poland (Krakow), the Czech Republic (Prague) and Germany (Dresden and Berlin) first hand. This is an exciting opportunity for students to undertake an amazing trip while earning a semester's history credit (2.5 credits). See the brochure below.

Read the full article here.
