The American School of Classical Studies at Athens (ASCSA) offers a six-week summer programs for university students and high school and college teachers of classics and related subjects. Because Athens is hosting the Olympic Games in August 2004, the regular summer program in Greece will not be offered; instead, ASCSA will sponsor a 26-day program (June 9-July 4, 2004) that explores the sites and monuments of ancient and medieval Turkey. Applications must be postmarked no later than January 15, 2004. In 2005 the ASCSA will return to the regular Summer Sessions in Greece.
