Our goal
Expand your horizons

We offer study abroad programs that train and reward students in a motivating and safe
 environment for a culturally unique experience.

We give students the opportunity to interact with the local community, drawing on the richness of Sicilian and popular culture, to promote the culture and the beauty of our country in the world.
We maintain educational high standards. Our courses are carried out by highly qualified teachers, both local and foreign, who have over ten years of experience and a track record of excellence in teaching.
 We emphasize direct learning in the field. This is done through field study, where the students can
observe and touch the richness and beauty of our culture, which can be learned in an archaeological
site, in a museum or simply in the streets of Ortigia.

We offer support in all phases of the training experience, providing an orientation to the students and the visiting faculty, both before leaving their country and during their stay in Syracuse. We provide the reception at the airport, the accommodation in the various Residences, and also a walking tour of Syracuse, so that students and visiting faculty can get an idea of ​​where they are and where to find an ice cream parlor, a bakery, or the market. Emergencies are handled 24 hours a day by qualified personnel.

We provide our students the opportunity to participate in several extracurricular activities that support the various academic programs, such as cooking classes, lectures, or volunteer activities that involve the community, so that students can leave something of their own culture to the community that welcomes them.
We aim to create a network of local and international academic institutions, in order to facilitate the cultural exchange between the various countries.

In the extreme part of this island there is a source of fresh water whose name is Aretusa, of incredible width, full of fish, whose flow would be completely submerged if it was not separated from the sea by a massive stone wall.

All language lessons can be associated with cultural activities, such as archeology, art and architecture, conversation, marine biology, volcanology and more.
