ischia

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'one of those off naples' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'is going to church institute and academy' is the wordplay.
'going to' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'church' becomes 'ch' (common abbreviation).
'institute' becomes 'i' (common abbreviation as in MIT).
'and' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'academy' becomes 'a' (abbreviation for academy).
'is'+'ch'+'i'+'a'='ISCHIA'

'with' is the link.
