A new summer course, Political Economy in Historical Context: From Ancient Greece to Modern Greek Crises was offered this summer with great success. Through a critical examination of the ancient Greek world, the course examines current issues and debates of international political economy and is based on experiential learning left uncovered by traditional on-campus curriculum.

Throwback to the CYA experience of alum ’11 Danni Schneider, via her love letter addressed to Greece and the beautiful photos she took while studying at CYA.

Throwback to the CYA experience of alum ’14, Alexis Fineman, via her sketches of Athens, Prague and Budapest!

Student life outside the class is a key part of the CYA experience. We encourage students to engage with a variety of extracurricular activities, explore new challenges, and have fun!

For 2018, we added a new and very interesting suggestion: Hand Embroidery!

As another summer session comes to an end, CYA student Luke Alberts shares with us a captivating video of his class’ experience of studying in Greece.

Summer session I is in full swing at CYA and the students of our “Becoming a Traveler: Writing in Greece” course are on the island of Poros. Professor Christine Harisson encourages the class to explore every aspect of life on the island, delving into the local culture and happenings.
