“In centro crescit scientia.” These words, echoing the belief that knowledge flourishes in the heart of Rome, welcome you to the Intercollegiate Center for Classical Studies, or ICCS as it’s fondly known. Founded in 1965, the ICCS isn’t just a building. It’s a vibrant hub where students from over a hundred North American institutions converge, drawn by the allure of ancient Rome. Imagine yourself transported back in time as the ICCS guides you through the layers of history. The heart of the program is the “Ancient City” course, a rigorous exploration of Rome’s archaeological and historical tapestry. This isn’t your typical classroom experience. Picture yourself tracing the footsteps of emperors, debating the intricacies of Roman architecture amidst the ruins of the Forum, or deciphering ancient inscriptions etched into the Colosseum’s stones. But the ICCS experience extends beyond the tangible remnants of the past. The spirit of learning permeates every corner of the Centro, from lively discussions over meals in their former convent home to late-night debates fueled by the echoes of ancient philosophers. Each student becomes a modern-day explorer, adding their own chapter to the ongoing story of the ICCS. Their journey of discovery, much like yours today, is a testament to the enduring power of the ancient world to inspire and captivate. Soak in the atmosphere, feel the weight of history, and let the ICCS be your guide to unlocking the secrets of this timeless city.
