The Siena School for Liberal Arts offers students a unique study abroad experience in one of the oldest and most beautiful university towns in Italy. Through the Siena School you will go beyond merely observing the life of this beautiful city; you will be drawn into dialogue with the environment that surrounds you. Our classes provide the instruments and insight you need to make a connection and leave a mark, be it through what you say, write, create or perform. In this way you are not a mere visitor, but a real contributor to the life of the city.

At the Siena School we offer you a vision to grow and learn in your study abroad experience through a wide range of exciting and innovative courses, taught in English and Italian, internships in the Fine Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences, as well as wonderful opportunities in Community Service and a variety of Extracurricular Activities.

Our small classes allow close collaboration between students and faculty. In addition, the school serves as a cultural institute, selects yearly research themes and organizes public interdisciplinary conferences that connect the school with the local community.

We work closely with the University of Siena. Students with sufficient language skills may even enroll in University courses. The Siena School is also affiliated with two non-profit organizations - Siena DiversaMente and Mason Perkins Deafness Fund - and students can work as interns in these organizations or participate in social and cultural projects that they run.
