Meet the Isaaks

The boys getting creeped out by the
skeletal relic in the Peterskirche.

Allow us to introduce ourselves! We're the Isaak Family. Curtis, the director of our study abroad, works for the BYU Alumni Association. He graduated from BYU with a B.A. in German Literature, and then completed M.A.s in Language Acquisition and ESL. Kathryn did her undergraduate and graduate work in Humanities with supporting coursework in German. She now teaches Humanities and Honors Writing classes at BYU, and will be teaching the Humanities/Honors course in Vienna. Our three children have tagged along on TWO study abroad trips to Berlin and Vienna, and are excited for trip number three.

While we're in Vienna, we all become "family," as we travel together, study together, and (very importantly) EAT together. We'll visit museums, explore cathedrals and palaces, and sample the recreational delights in and around Vienna. We'll also gather regularly at our apartment for firesides, class meetings, or just informal chats about how everyone is doing.

Our goal is to make your experience in Vienna as rewarding and amazing as possible. Along the way, we have ridiculous amounts of fun as well. Your are always welcome to contact us with any questions or concerns you may have about the program.

We look forward to seeing you in Vienna!
