The Intrax Summer Cultural Exploration program in England is designed to give students a broad overview of English culture, theater and literature from ancient time to the present. Utilizing England as a classroom, the program provides students with the opportunity to discover the evolution of English culture firsthand, through museum visits, walking tours and theater performances. Oxford itself was home to some popular modern authors such as C.S. Lewis (Chronicles of Narnia), J.R.R Tolkien (Lord of the Rings), as well as the characters in J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter!
