Study Italian and Cultural Immersion in Siena, Italy
Italy
- All Other Areas in Italy:
Siena
Term: Throughout the year
Dates: Start every Monday, all year round.
Description:
Our school was founded in 1979 and is located in the heart of this charming medieval city. The area around the school boasts many beautiful architectural and historical sights and is close to most facilities. The school building is typical of the local architecture and is decorated in local pastel colors. Since 1990, the school has represented the Siena Committee of the non-profit making cultural organization Society Dante Alighieri, founded in Rome in 1889 with the aim of promoting and sustaining the knowledge of Italian language and culture throughout the world. The school is recognized by the Italian Ministry of Education. Note: The school offers students the opportunity to write an exam after completion of the third or sixth level. The school runs preparation courses for the Progetto Lingua Italiana Dante Alighieri (P.L.I.D.A.) language examination, which is internationally recognized and accredited. The course runs for 2 weeks prior to the exam dates usually May & November each year and consists of 15 hours per week of specific preparation classes in small groups of maximum 4 students (total 30 hours). Our programs cater for all language levels from absolute beginners to the more advanced, include the use of course materials and provide a variety of options to enhance your program. Each student will be expected to take a short placement test on the first Monday morning of the course (unless a complete beginner), to determine the students language level and ensure placement in the correct class. Host Family: (private room) with 2 meals daily. Double rooms may be available for students travelling together only. Self Catering Apartments: (private room) no meals. Double rooms may be available for students travelling together only.
Highlights:
Siena is a bustling medieval city of brick, which has been an economic center since the 12th century. The city is also known as the city of the Blessed Virgin and of its heraldic symbol the "Balzana", the white and black. This proud city offers dozens of Gothic palaces and pastry shops galore, unseen neighborhood rivalries, and pieces of unsurpassed beauty. Many buildings were created in Sienese Gothic style, giving this town its distinctive style. The she-wolf is the city's emblem, a holdover from its days as Saena Julia, the Roman colony founded by Augustus about 2,000 years ago (though the official Sienese myth has the town founded by the sons of Remus, younger brother of Rome's legendary forefather).
Degree Level: Bachelors Degree (Undergraduate)
