ABOUT: Each summer, the Victorian Society in America sponsors Summer School programs in Newport, RI, Chicago, IL, and London, England. We invite you to study architecture, art, landscape, and preservation at one of our internationally-acclaimed Summer Schools. You will enjoy lectures by leading scholars, private tours of historic sites, and opportunities to get behind the scenes at museums and galleries. The Summer Schools are academically rigorous and physically demanding. A typical day includes lectures and tours by leading scholars, considerable walking, periods of standing, and engaging social experiences. These intensive programs are action packed, with little free time. These programs provide in depth study of the multifaceted architecture and culture of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

PROGRAM DATES: Newport June 3-11; Chicago June 16-21; London July 2-17

TUITION: The 9-day Newport Summer School costs $2,500; the 16-day London Summer School costs $4,500 and the 6-day Chicago Summer School costs $1,850 Tuition includes expert instruction, shared accommodation, some meals, tours, receptions, entrance fees, and bus transportation while on tour, but does not cover transportation to/from the school. Competitive scholarships for qualified applicants may be available from the VSA for the London and Newport Schools.
