One thing England is known for is its stately homes and manor houses. Imagine studying abroad in a 150-room Victorian house, living, and learning in an English country manor. Situated 5 minutes from downtown Grantham and an hour north of London, Harlaxton Manor is named one of England’s “100 Best” great houses.
API’s Discover Britain at Harlaxton College program is a 16-day experience where you will choose one of two courses in Creative Writing or British History, and may earn up to two college credits from the University of Evansville.
As a student at Harlaxton College, you will live, eat, study, and play on the large and lush grounds of Harlaxton campus, with plenty of fields trips to nearby towns and local castles. You will spend 4 days with us in London seeing some of the major sites, including Big Ben, the House of Parliament, Westminster Abbey, the London Eye, Buckingham Palace, the Harry Potter Warner Brothers Film Studio, and more!
API has extended its application deadline until April 10, 2017. To get you excited for the program, here are 5 reasons why YOU should study abroad with API at Harlaxton College:
- Harlaxton College is a premier location to study abroad as a high school student with an interest in British Studies, the United Kingdom, and Western Europe.
- The manor is a popular location for filming. Exterior and interior shots have been featured in The Ruling Class, The Last Days of Patton, The Lady and the Highwayman to name a few.
- Are you a Harry Potter fan and have dreamt of living and learning in a similar Hogwarts-style school like Ron, Harry and Hermoine? We like to think that Harlaxton College is pretty darn close to the School of Wizardry with its large staterooms, long corridors, and house competitions. And yes…we did say house competitions!
