All IB Juniors spend their “Theory of Knowledge” retreat, which is part of the TOK course and counts toward their IB diploma, in Florence and Pisa. Non-IB Juniors study aspects of history during travel week and can indicate a preference among three destinations: The Andalusia trip concentrates on the Age of Spanish Exploration and Discovery, the Croatia trip is about the History of Conflict, and the Vienna trip has as its topic the Habsburg Monarchy.
