    Cryptology

    • In Person/On Campus

    Cryptology is the study of the codes and ciphers used to create secret writing. In this math course, students begin their journey with an exploration of many early techniques for creating secret writing, such as cipher wheels, the Caesar shift, polyalphabetic substitution, and the Vigenère cipher. They move on to learn about modern techniques including RSA public key cryptography, as students explore how data transmitted by computers can be secured with digital encryption. Discussions about the vulnerabilities of each encryption system enable students to attack and decrypt messages using techniques such as frequency analysis and cribbing. Students apply the concepts learn to encrypt and decrypt their own secret messages.

    Though the course’s central focus is on the mathematics of cryptology, the historical context of cryptography and cryptographic devices is provided to further develop an understanding of this branch of mathematics. For example, students examine the design and fallibility of the Enigma Machine, one of the most important cryptographic devices in history.

    International Relations

    • In Person/On Campus

    It’s the late 1800s and you are the leader of a European country: the Austrian Empire or the Kingdom of Prussia (Germany) or smaller but influential countries such as the Kingdom of Two Sicilies or Switzerland. What decisions will you make? This is your reality for the next three weeks, as you undertake the European Leadership Project, a simulation that focuses on Europe and its political, military, economic, and cultural developments from the end of the Napoleonic wars (1815) until the start of World War I (1914).

    As presidents, tsars, popes or dukes, you present your decisions, answer questions posed by your opponents, try to solicit support for your quest and tackle international crises, aiming to win the final vote. Through rigorous research and analysis of your own and your opponents’ decisions, you gain a broad understanding of the study of the origins of modern international politics, emphasizing on significant themes such as foreign policy and the role of great powers, superpowers, ethnic and religious movements and terrorist groups in the arena of international affairs. Among others, you focus on the relationship between constructivism and realism in International Relations, evaluate the importance of good relations between countries with respect to the economy and evaluate why the 1929 Geneva Conference was necessary.

    Learning Objectives

    • Develop cognitive skills such as primary source analysis, logical inferences, and map construction and interpretation.
    • Evaluate, synthesize and analyze key facts and ideas productively, to deepen your understanding of modern reality and the world issues which concern policymakers and citizens today.

    Save humanity—join the League of English Superheroes! Just like Superman and Batman, students are called on to complete exciting missions to help protect the world. In this intensive, 10-lesson English course, students work together in a creative learning community and use the world of superheroes to strengthen their English language skills through storytelling, discussion, and hands-on challenges. The course is designed especially for students who want to build confidence and fluency in English, including those preparing for exams.

    Throughout the course, students explore superhero stories using ideas from literature, science, psychology, technology, and social studies. Each “mission” helps students build vocabulary, improve grammar, and develop creativity, critical thinking, and communication skills in English. By reading, watching, discussing, and creating, students learn how English is used to explain ideas, tell stories, and persuade an audience.

    Students practice different types of writing, including stories, descriptions, informational texts, and opinion pieces. Using a variety of materials such as texts, videos, images, and short articles, they analyze superhero worlds and then create their own original characters, settings, and plots. Interactive discussions, debates, and short presentations help students develop spoken fluency and confidence using English in real-world situations.

    Beyond live lessons, students complete guided activities that allow them to apply what they learn in creative and meaningful ways. They may write origin stories, explore ethical dilemmas, design superhero-themed projects, or solve problems connected to their imaginary worlds. By the end of the course, students “graduate” from the League of English Superheroes by creating their own secret superhero identity and taking part in an original final challenge.

    Lessons include interactive instruction, group work, independent tasks, and feedback from the instructor. Cooperative learning and positive peer feedback are key parts of the course, helping students grow as writers, storytellers, and confident English users in a supportive environment.
