Dear Parents and Students
CIML Canada is excited to introduce you to our summer trips to Italy— unique,
educational and life-changing experiences. Not only will students be able to experience
first-hand insights from the ancient and classical Roman world, but be able to do so
with world-class professors and teachers from Italy and Canada and alongside students
from across Canada! These courses have been specially prepared to include lessons
and inquiry based learning.
Our students come from public and private schools across Canada and are from a
variety of ethnic, religious and social backgrounds. Our teachers and staff are hand-
picked to provide the safest and most quality experience for the students.
I hope the information we have prepared in this booklet will prove helpful, but feel free
to give us a call if you have any questions.

Academics
Heritage Science & Technology
This exclusive study trip to Italy has been designed for Gr. 11 and 12 students
who have an interest in art, archaeology or architecture and who would like
to prepare for a university academic discipline in these areas. This course is
substantially different from the Ministry of Education courses and therefore
provides additional study that is complementary to and in addition to other
courses available. This course will provide 4 course credits, subject to ap-
proval by the student’s BC school, and the possibility of 4 additional credits
for a Capstone Project.
Students will have opportunity to learn from professors and world experts
from Italy as well as Canada. The experiential learning will include lab expe-
rience, advanced technology, art experience and practical field work. An en-
quiry-based learning experience with hands-on learning results in an optimal
educational experience. Imagine getting to know and work with students
from across Canada who have the same interests and goals.
Amelia Italy is the major focus of the trip. It is a small walled city in Umbria,
about an hour north of Rome and having a wealth of history and culture to
discover including a 2,500 year old city wall , architecture from the 1st centu-
ry AD, Roman roads, ancient mosaics and cisterns as well as medieval archi-
tecture and art. In addition, CIML is launching an archaeological excavation
in the spring of 2020, where students will be part of the discovery of artifacts
from the 7th to 4th century BC up to the Romanization.

Academics (continued)
The University of La Tuscia in Viterbo is a scientific partner in our archaeolog-
ical dig as well as an excellent source for studies in art and art restoration.
Students will get a taste of the rich history of Viterbo, including the Palace of
the Popes and other museums and churches.
Art experience will include visiting and viewing art in multiple museums and
churches, but will also include making items such as a small mosaic from Ital-
ian marble, a fresco, and an icon.
To conclude the study trip, the students will spend several days in Rome, ob-
serving architecture, art and history while making connections to the artists,
architects and archaeological artifacts studied in Amelia.
Dates for the trip: Saturday March 14 to Saturday, March 28.
Cost of the trip: $5,800 CA; $6,100 CA after December 7, 2019
