Mandatory: Yes

Price: Included in course price

Create your own dream trip through Europe!

The Music – Band/Vocal and Photo/Experience classes travel together. We start in historic Split on the Croatian coast, with turquoise seas and charming alleys among ancient ruins.

From Split the trip continues in groups. Each group plans transport, accommodation, and activities, creating their own unique journey. Many choose to visit Ljubljana in Slovenia, Bratislava in Slovakia, Vienna in Austria, and Prague in the Czech Republic. Others also explore smaller places like Graz in Austria, Lake Bled in Slovenia, Dresden in Germany, and Wroclaw in Poland.

Finally, we all gather in Berlin, wrapping up the trip with galleries, a jazz club, and sightseeing.

At the very start of the school year, the whole school travels to Glitterheim in Jotunheimen national park. Here we attempt to climb Glittertind, Norway’s second-highest peak at 2452 meters. (Don’t worry, if hiking isn’t your thing, you can choose a shorter trail).

In the evenings we play cards, relax, and quickly get to know each other.
