Program Overview

Program Description:

SAI welcomes students to experience Sicily, one of the jewels of the Mediterranean! Join SAI to study volcanology on Mount Etna, archaeology among ancient Greek ruins of Syracuse, or the history of the Mafia in its birthplace. In partnership with The Syracuse Academy, SAI provides specialized study abroad programs focused on Mediterranean culture, landscape and history, in a beautiful seaside setting. The Academy brings together a small community of students interested in a culturally immersive summer academic experience that uses the surrounding region as its classroom.

SAI oversees and coordinates all aspects of student enrollment, including application processing, course selection and credit, visa advising, housing, student health insurance, transcripts and cell phone service. In addition, SAI provides comprehensive student services, beginning with pre-departure and leading to our on-site orientation.

Setting Description:

SAI students in Syracuse never stop exploring their surroundings, including climbing Mount Etna, relaxing at sun-kissed beaches, exploring nearby towns, and taking in ancient architecture. In addition, students are invited to deepen their cultural understanding by participating in an array of volunteer and enrichment opportunities, including language and cultural exchange programs, local school visits, internships and much more.
