Located in the center of Siena in a magnificent turn-of-the-century villa, the Siena School for Liberal Arts offers you a unique study abroad experience in one of the oldest and most beautiful university towns in Italy. Through the Siena School you will want to 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) in the Fine Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences, wonderful opportunities in Community Service and a variety of Extracurricular Activities.

Our small classes allow close collaboration between students and faculty. The School selects yearly research themes that all students are invited to work on with their instructors through individual research projects.

We work closely with the University of Siena; students with sufficient language skills may even enrol for University courses. At the end of the semester the Siena School, together with the University of Siena, organizes a final round table during which the semester's theme is discussed together with visiting lecturers to create a truly interdisciplinary exchange of ideas.
