Explore Roman Catholicism on a religious studies school trip to Rome!

We can arrange for your students to attend a General Audience with the Pope, subject to schedule. And you can stay in a fully refurbished and completely modernised 13th century Cistercian monastery. With churches on almost every corner and countless remarkable ancient and renaissance buildings, your group will soak up a wealth of religious heritage of a fascinating city that has been at the heart of Christianity for nearly 2,000 years.

You could also choose to make your school trip to Rome cross-curricular, thanks to the fantastic opportunities the city also offers for Italian, art and classical studies.

Need help?

I love being able to provide school trips that give students the opportunity to experience different cultures and languages. When I was a student, I visited a town near Lyon for a French exchange trip. I found it really interesting living with a French family, I really enjoyed the trip and my language skills improved, as I quickly became more confident at speaking the language – Caroline Hill Tour Consultant

Don't take our word for it …

Our students have been talking about the trip to anyone who will listen. Thanks! Frankfurt has always been a destination that offers our students learning opportunities with every excursion we went on. I would encourage any school looking to do some Maths to choose Frankfurt. — Kingsdale Foundation School , March 2019
