  8. Trip Rationale • Relevance – As a Christian school committed to teaching from a Christian perspective, we are thrilled to be proposing to take students to see Italy, the historical setting of the birth of the church in the West, from the catacombs and the Coliseum in Rome, to the great spiritual revival of the Middle Ages in Assisi, to the birthplace of the Renaissance in Florence and the wealth of artistic expression there and in Rome. • This tour will focus on the history of our faith as expressed through art. • We intend for the trip to be more of a spiritual pilgrimage rather than a typical site seeing tour.

  9. For example • San Minato, Florence • Evening attendance to participate in the sung vespers by the resident White Benedictine monks.

Tour Rationale: • Curriculum – Senior Art, AP Art, Comparative Civilizations 12, Social Studies 8, Biblical Perspectives modules Christianity in the Arts, Spirituality through art, Grasping for the Wind linkages • Learning goals – an increased awareness of the depth of spirituality available in the 2000 years of Christian history in the West. • An appreciation of the tremendous accomplishments of Western Christian culture in art by seeing the art and architecture first hand, up close and personal, an experience that no textbook, no lecture, no documentary, no image can compare to. • To see first hand the historically significant and pivotal art pieces in World History: painting, sculpture, mosaic, architecture
