Summer Schools

For more than fifty years, the Victorian Society in America’s Summer Schools have offered unparalleled opportunities to explore the architecture, decorative arts, and cultural heritage of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Each program is an intensive blend of expert-led lectures, private tours, and hands-on exploration in three exceptional locations — Newport, Rhode Island; London, England; and Chicago, Illinois. Whether you’re a preservation professional, a student, or an enthusiast, these immersive programs offer a chance to study with leading scholars, visit extraordinary places, and form lasting connections with fellow participants.
