Intensive Study Groups

VEHS intensives are an in-depth study on a specific subject. Teachers and students have the opportunity to explore an area that they are passionate about. This is an intense study that could not be possible in a typical class room setting. Most intensives include travel, whether it is local, regional, national, or international destinations.

Listed below are Intensive Study Groups from 2006-2007...
