Program Overview

Program Description:

SRISA feels like a family, and that's what we strive to give our students. This very personal, high-quality art and design school matches perfectly with our mission at Athena.

SRISA has become one of the top art and design schools in Italy. Today, SRISA focuses on personalized instruction and experiential learning- two vital parts of quality study abroad.

The program, which is at the smaller of the two Athena Florence campuses, is enhanced with extra-curricular activities, art exhibits, field trips, cultural seminars, beyond-the-classroom learning, museum visits, student art shows, and fashion shows.
