The transformative journey at Accademia XXI
Our program

These days, a growing number of students are demanding to take time for reflection on their career paths. To address this, we’ve established Accademia XXI, a rather unique institution designed to cultivate critical minds and appreciation for beauty. Our Arts programme – encompassing fine art, philosophy, antiques, photography, architecture, critical reading, economy of art, opera, and protocol – will furnish our students with a perspective from which to navigate the exigencies of daily life. We’ve assembled a cadre of leading professionals in each field to mentor our students. Our mentorship approach incorporates discussion sessions where students grapple with questions, dilemmas, and articulate their ideas. Alongside the Arts programme, we’ve developed a sports track linked to the Mediterranean sea, to which we have direct access from Villa Ceriana. The sports programme features professional instructors, some of whom have trained national team athletes. Thus, the level of each sport is tailored to each student’s objectives and ambitions.

To complement this, we offer: monthly masterclasses, linked to each Art subject, by top-tier international professionals. We also host orchestral evenings, where students enjoy concerts performed by their peers, affording them the opportunity to appreciate classical music. Finally, we believe visits to our most notable cultural and professional institutions will provide invaluable insights into excellence and professionalism.

An unforgettable experience: sea, culture and beauty

Imagine waking up every morning in a 18th-century villa with a swimming pool, perched on the cliffs overlooking the Mediterranean sea, where the salty air mixes with the scents of the Ligurian mountains behind it. A unique blend of sea and mountains, typical of many areas of Liguria, where the mild climate greets you every day, surrounded by a landscape that combines the beauty of nature with the elegance of Italian art. ACCADEMIA XXI is not just a gap year, but a journey of transformation, allowing you to develop your potential and discover your passions in an environment of extraordinary beauty. Here, education is not just the transmission of knowledge, but a celebration of thought, action, and surroundings, so that each student can build a meaningful, purposeful life while contributing positively to society.
