Study Abroad in Ambialet France
This is a dual enrollment course for which students will receive one high school elective credit as well as three college credits from Saint Francis University. Students may apply for the program during their sophomore or junior year, with participation and travel taking place the succeeding June.
During this program, your home will be an 11th century monastery in Ambialet, France where Saint Francis University operates its study abroad program. From nearby castles to quaint medieval hilltop villages, this setting is the perfect place to live and breathe history. You will also immerse yourself in the modern French culture where you can experience intellectual, linguistic, personal, and spiritual growth, not to mention, sample the local cuisine.
In this Professor-in-Residence course, FNAR 102 Fine Arts: Culture and Values, students will explore part of the rich cultural heritage of France, especially the area surrounding Ambialet. Readings, lectures, and in-class discussion will provide background for understanding both the historical and artistic importance of architecture, sculpture, and painting seen first-hand in site visits to museums and medieval monuments. The coursework will include an option for a hands-on project—drama, music, dance, visual arts—or an in-class presentation on one of a variety of topics. Daily classroom sessions will be punctuated by numerous excursions to the locations being studied - experimental learning at its best! - including two UNESCO World Cultural sites.
Any questions or inquires should be directed to Mrs. Butler.
