Project Description:

The Hellenic Studies Summer School (HSSS) is an intensive and diverse academic experience that engages students in a critical exploration of Hellenic culture from ancient to modern times. Choosing from courses in literature, language, history, art, philosophy, mythology, international relations, theater, dance and music, students explore connections between Greece’s past and present, as well as the significance of Hellenic culture in the world today. The program integrates coursework with active, experiential learning and meta-cognitive practices to foster cultural immersion and critical thinking.

Students may attend this program — featuring fully-accredited (NECHE) courses — independently or as part of a study abroad program organized in concert with an ACG partner institution. HSSS students will take two 3-credit courses, reside in ACG’s apartment-style residences and visit significant historical and cultural sites on weekend and evening excursions. The program will be offered in Summer Session I 2026 (mid-May to mid-June).

A certificate will be awarded upon successful completion of the Hellenic Studies Summer School.
