Siena Italian Studies: Your Gateway to Authentic Italian Language and Culture
Siena Italian Studies is a leading provider of immersive language and cultural programs in Italy. Founded in 1971, the company has been dedicated to promoting the beauty and richness of Italian language, history, art, and cuisine to students from all over the world.
At Siena Italian Studies, we believe that learning a new language is not just about memorizing grammar rules or vocabulary lists. It's about experiencing a new way of life, connecting with people from different backgrounds, and expanding your horizons. That's why we offer a wide range of programs that combine classroom instruction with real-life experiences.
Our flagship program is the Semester Abroad Program, which allows students to spend an entire semester in Siena studying Italian language and culture while living with local families or in shared apartments. This program includes intensive language classes at all levels (beginner to advanced), as well as courses on topics such as art history, literature, cinema, cooking, fashion design and more.
We also offer shorter programs such as Summer Intensive Courses (4-8 weeks), Winter Programs (2-4 weeks), Customized Group Programs for schools or organizations looking for tailored solutions for their students or employees.
All our programs are designed by experienced educators who are passionate about teaching Italian language and culture. Our faculty members hold advanced degrees in their fields of expertise and have years of experience teaching international students.
In addition to academic excellence, we also prioritize student safety and well-being. We provide comprehensive support services including airport pick-up/drop-off service; orientation sessions; 24/7 emergency assistance; health insurance coverage; cultural activities such as guided tours of museums/sites around Siena; excursions outside Siena (e.g., Florence); social events like cooking classes or wine tastings etc.
Our campus is located in the heart of historic Siena - one of Italy's most beautiful cities. Siena is known for its medieval architecture, vibrant cultural scene, and friendly locals. It's also a great base for exploring other parts of Tuscany such as Florence, Pisa, San Gimignano or the Chianti region.
At Siena Italian Studies, we are committed to providing our students with an unforgettable experience that will not only improve their language skills but also broaden their perspectives and enrich their lives. Join us today and discover the magic of Italy!
