The Cambridge Tradition | Field Trips
During their month in the UK students enjoy day-long field trips, which include:
Canterbury. Canterbury
is not only a beautiful medieval town, but has been
a seat of religious power for almost 1500 years. It
is now the site of Canterbury Cathedral, a huge gothic edifice, in which Archbishop
Thomas Becket was murdered in 1170 by knights of Henry II. One of the
most infamous assassinations in British history, T.S.
Eliot described it in his Murder in the Cathedral.
The cathedral was also the destination of Chaucer’s
pilgrims in The Canterbury
Tales.
London. The capital
city of the United Kingdom, the seat of Parliament,
and the home of the Royal Family, London is truly one
of the greatest cities in the world. For over 2000 years a center of business, religion
and culture, London offers students unforgettable sites and experiences.
Each major teacher crafts a unique visit to London for their
students featuring sites relevant to their subject.
