Founded in 1998, Sant'Anna Institute (SA) is located in the historic center of Sorrento, Italy just steps from the sea of the Amalfi coast. The natural beauty of the Sorrentine landscape with its mild climate, and the allure of nearby sights such as Pompeii, Capri and the Amalfi Coast all conspire to make Sorrento a fantastic location for study abroad students.

Historically, Sorrento was a Greek village prior to the Roman Empire when it became a favorite of wealthy Romans whose villas on the sea are now notable ruins.

Sant'Anna Institute provides students with opportunities to study the language, culture and history of Mediterranean Italy. The Institute offers students a unique blend of business, liberal arts and science courses; language development and cultural immersion.
