"Changed my life. It was a great adventure!"

"A Teen Treks trip gives you a sense of independence, as opposed to a summer camp where everything is handed to you. I made new friends and saw new places, all on the power of myself and my bike.”

"A unique way to learn to live away from home, cook, live on a budget, repair mechanical things, interact with new people, see the country… the ultimate college prep."

“Egan loved the trip, I know her group is already talking about next summer. She came home a bit down because she had to leave her new friends. If she had time this summer, she would have squeezed another trip in…”

Our academics begin with a look at the changing nature of western democracies and societies, now dominated by surveillance, social media, and sensationalist news. BookChat discussions on  Fahrenheit 451  bring the relationship between the state and the citizen into sharp focus. The British Museum, Trafalgar Square, the Imperial War Museum, and Buckingham Palace are the backdrop to our academics that connect themes to the city. We will also enjoy and explore the Borough Market’s international cuisine before an evening of Shakespeare live at the Globe Theatre.

After crossing the English Channel, we arrive in France and visit the Canadian National Vimy Memorial. This is the ideal time to delve into  Three Day Road  as we contemplate the sacrifices made by soldiers during WWI. In Paris, lessons focus on the Age of Enlightenment and the Age of Revolution as we debate the nature of humanity and the structure of civilization. In the crypt of the Pantheon, we revisit the arguments put forth by Rousseau and Voltaire that laid the foundation for the French Revolution and the rise of Napoleon. From bike rides in the Gardens of Versailles to visits to the Musée du Louvre, Paris is a once-in-a-lifetime immersion into French history and culture.

With 3 days in this beautiful location, we will explore what was originally a Celtic village, before becoming a garrison town when the Romans “moved in”.   We will spend our time on the Grande Île, which has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1988. There, we will marvel at Strasbourg’s 11th–15th-century Cathedral of Notre-Dame that was damaged in 1870 and again in World War II, playing perfectly into our history studies.

After two busy weeks of city living, it’s time to gear back and enjoy one of Europe’s most picturesque towns. Here we enjoy the harmonious combination of an old town nestled around the Neckar River, Heidelberg castle, and Germany’s oldest university. On a full-day hike, we’ll pack a picnic and enjoy a rigorous hike up the foothills of the Alps to enjoy a breathtaking view of Germany’s hinterland. These few days will provide you with a chance to recharge your batteries and enjoy some of Germany’s best schnitzel pretzels and strudel before jumping back into our academic program.

Making our way to the top of Europe, we emerge from the Stechelberg gondola to find our new home in the picture-postcard Swiss village of Mürren. Here, we hike mountains and roast marshmallows by the fireside—with the clamour of giant cowbells, bleating mountain goats, and the sound of rushing waterfalls all around. Academically, we work on essay writing for English and receive one-on-one mentorship in History while enjoying morning coffee overlooking the Alps.

In Munich, we examine the details of the rise of Nazi Germany and trace the impact of the National Socialist movement on both the European continent and the rest of the world. From Hitler’s speeches at Odeonsplatz to the horrific legacy of the Dachau Concentration Camp, lectures and master classes place us directly where history happened—making for an educational experience that leaves a profound impact on us all.

Though most commonly known for its wall and its role in the Cold War, Berlin has become one of Europe’s most dynamic cities with its flourishing arts scene. Whether immersing themselves in exploring the multi-layered history of Germany’s capital or gaining continuous exposure to variations of self-expression in the streets, students will find inspiration for their final assignments in this multicultural metropolis. One last dinner together along the Spree helps bookend a summer of literature, discovery, and newfound friends.

Program Testimonials

MEI was something I’ll never forget; it changed the way I learn and changed my understanding of the world and the curriculum. Learning on-site is a truly valuable thing that I was lucky to have experienced. In a short 35 days, I learned more than I would in an entire semester. I made friends that will last a lifetime and gained incredible knowledge and skills I’ll always have with me.

Student, Trek Through Europe 1 2019

To say that MEI was life-changing is an understatement. My trek was unbelievable, and I did so many incredible things that I never imagined I would have the opportunity to do. I learned how to advocate for myself, get out of my comfort zone, and make lifelong friends, all while being pushed academically. MEI really pushed me to become a better writer and I now feel prepared for university-level writing assignments. The quality of education at MEI is unparalleled, and I am forever thankful that I got to experience Europe with so many wonderful peers and teachers.

I’m not just learning it – I’m living it!  Walking through the narrow trenches made us imagine how horrible it was for the men who trudged through ankle deep water ducking to stay below gun fire.

History of Tobolsk

According to the official version, Tobolsk was founded in the summer of 1587, about 17 km from the Tatar settlement of Siberia (also known as Kashlyk, Isker) (the former capital of the Siberian Khanate).

There is a legend that Tobolsk was founded near the site where Ermak’s soldiers landed during the Battle of Chuvash Cape after which the Siberian Khanate was annexed to Russia. The town’s first building was Trinity Church, and the cape was named Trinity Cape.

Until the 18th century, on maps, Tobolsk was sometimes referred to as “Siberia.” It became the second (after Tyumen) Russian town in Siberia.

Tobolsk became the center of Russian colonization of Siberia - the so-called “capital of Siberia”, which was formalized in the reforms of Peter the Great in 1708, when Tobolsk became the administrative center of the Siberian province, the largest province in the Russian Empire. It included the territory from Vyatka to the Russian America.

More Historical Facts…

This town was the starting point of the “Siberian exile.” The first exile was the Uglich Bell, used to raise the people to revolt after the mysterious death of Prince Dmitry, the youngest son of Ivan the Terrible. The bell was returned from Tobolsk only in the 19th century.

In the second decade of the 18th century, Swedish prisoners of war captured during the Russian-Swedish war were sent to Tobolsk. They took an active part in the construction of the town, made a significant contribution to its cultural life. In honor of the Swedes, one of the buildings of the Tobolsk Kremlin (Rentereya) has a second name - the “Swedish House.”

For the next generations of exiles, Tobolsk was a transit point to other places of exile in Siberia. Among these exiles were Fyodor Dostoevsky, Vladimir Korolenko, Alexander Solzhenitsyn, and other famous people.

The gradual decline of Tobolsk was associated with a range of factors. The most significant one was the relocation of the Siberian tract done to change the way of the development of Siberia, the shift of population and economic life in the south, in the forest-steppe zone.

In the 20th century, Tobolsk became known as the administrative center of the native province of Grigory Rasputin, the place of exile of the last Russian Emperor Nicholas II and his family, as well as one of the centers of a large uprising against the Bolsheviks - the peasant uprising in Siberia of 1921-1922.

During the Soviet regime, the Tobolsk petrochemical plant was built, one of the largest petrochemical plants in the Soviet Union.

Today, Tobolsk has a great potential for tourism development. A special federal program for the development of Tobolsk as a tourist center is adopted by authorities.
