Welcome to the Atlantis Project (AP)!
The AP has been bringing students to the Azores Islands in the mid-North Atlantic for the past 5 summers to participate in internships, teach English, or learn Portuguese. Students live for 5 or 6 weeks in the beautiful city center of Angra do Heroismo in community or with host families. The AP's goal is to continue making it a great learning experience and one of the best times of your life.
