Tour Group Details
Chambers College has places for 14 students and/or parents for the Sixth London Study Program. We will be staying at the Highbury Centre in London. The tour is hosted and conducted by Steve and Teri Ong. The tour includes 14 days and 12 nights, and is tentatively scheduled for April 5-18, 2011.

The Trip Itinerary and Courses
We feature English instructors and guides who will be lecturing on British history and fine arts. Students will receive up to 8 hours of college credit for an integrated study of art, music, English history, and theology. Final papers are completed upon return.
This year’s London program includes HI 311 History of the Reformation in England (3 cr.) and FA 202 Biblical Foundations of Fine Arts (3 cr.) as preparatory to the London trip. The cost of the courses is included in the total package. These classes meet on Wednesdays from January- March,2011. The other two hours credit (HI 312 and FA 202) are gained on the trip by keeping a journal. You may travel to London without attending the courses, but there is no reduction in price for not taking the courses.
