Traveling has a soothing effect on us, and Vienna waits for you to experience its charm, history, and vibrant culture. At Cumorah Academy, we believe that exploring new places expands your mind and soul, helping you grow into the person you’re meant to be. That’s why we create unforgettable opportunities for our students to travel, connect, and learn — and one of our favorite destinations is the incredible city of Vienna.
Vienna Waits for You: A City of History and Inspiration
Vienna is one of those rare cities that evokes a feeling of timeless wonder. Walking along its cobblestone streets, it’s impossible not to feel connected to the legends who once called this city home. Imagine standing in the same squares where Mozart composed his masterpieces or strolling through the parks where Beethoven sought inspiration. Vienna’s atmosphere is both elegant and electric, filled with music, art, and architecture that have left a lasting impact on the world.
At Cumorah Academy, we encourage our students to embrace new horizons, step beyond their comfort zones, and immerse themselves in diverse cultures. A recent visit to Vienna allowed our students to do just that—explore one of Europe’s most iconic capitals while deepening their appreciation for history, creativity, and human connection.
Student Reflections: How Vienna Changes You
Our students often describe their trip to Vienna as a life-changing experience. Here’s what Oscar, a student from Mexico, had to say:
“Well, honestly, I love Vienna because it’s a pretty city. I feel like I’m home. To be honest, I want to live there. And for me, it’s fascinating—the way that Vienna completely influences you. The architecture, the music… I love it.”
Another student, Bruno from Brazil, shared:
“It was an amazing experience being with everyone from Cumorah Academy. All the students sang, and we had some fun. We went to different places. We got to know the culture and also the people who lived there. It was such an amazing experience. Perfect.”
Lehi, from Spain, observed:
I loved that at Cumorah I had the opportunity to visit a new country and, most importantly, spend time with my friends. Vienna is a place I never imagined visiting, but now it’s one of my favorite cities. Thank you, Cumorah!
These reflections capture the essence of what we strive for at Cumorah Academy: creating opportunities for young adults to not only see new places but also to grow through meaningful experiences, new friendships, and personal discovery.
Vienna Waits for You—and So Does Cumorah Academy
The phrase “Vienna waits for you,” made famous by Billy Joel, resonates deeply with our mission. In his song “Vienna,” Billy Joel sings:
“Slow down, you’re doing fine…”
It’s a powerful reminder to pause, breathe, and appreciate the journey. Our culture often pushes young adults to rush through life, check off accomplishments, and pursue endless goals without taking time to enjoy the process. At Cumorah Academy, we encourage a different approach. One where exploration, reflection, and personal growth are just as important as academic and career achievements.
When Billy Joel sings:
“Vienna waits for you…”
…he invites us to understand that life is not a race. And in the same spirit, we say to you: Cumorah waits for you.
We’re here to help you slow down, reflect, and discover who you are meant to become. Through unique travel experiences like our trip to Vienna, our students learn about the world, themselves, and the values that will guide them through life.
