| Homeschool Travel Abroad A Great Way to Learn a Foreign Language Homeschool vacations can include studying the Renaissance in Florence, Italy; exploring the canals of Germany, or learning about gladiators in Rome. Learning a foreign language is an added bonus of travel. It's always easier to learn foreign languages at an early age. What might take a year of study from textbooks and classes, could only take a month of language immersion for a child. Here are some upcoming trips with Abercrombie and Kent. These trips aren't specifically for homeschoolers, but they are a great way to have history and cultural education built into your vacation. A Storybook Adventure 2011 This program is part of A&K's Family Holidays. During a Family Holiday through Budapest, Vienna and Prague, unearth ghostly legends, explore secret underground tunnels and view glimmering weapons and armor. Test your sculpting skills while making marzipan; compose your own waltz in homage to Mozart, Beethoven and Strauss; and take a horse-drawn carriage ride to a Viennese inn built in 1447. A Window to Ancient Greece 2011 The gods of ancient Greece live on in myths, legends and the incredible structures built to honor them. Explore the Parthenon and the ancient Plaka district in Athens. Stroll through charming Nafplion. See the "beehive" funerary chambers in Mycenae, the great temples in Delphi and Meteora's Byzantine monasteries. Conclude your journey in Thessaloniki, home to beautiful beaches. For more information on these trips, visit here: Abercrombie and Kent |
