Didactic objectives
Teaching objectives are connected to English international certifications; German and Spanish certifications are optional.
Secondary school plays a decisive role in the education of young teenagers.
It should follow the transformation of students, who are still children at the end of primary school, into aware and responsible adolescents.
Children, who would listen to everything they were told in primary school, are now teenagers who constantly question what is proposed to them, demanding explanations.
Schools must not disregard this need to be curious, but embrace and mould it, giving it purpose and meaning.
Schools must encourage the development of passionate reasoning, the capacity to know and attest the sense of things, urging all to use their freedom and initiative.
A school that pays attention to the growth of the individual must have an extremely flexible educational and organisational setting.
Subjets
The subjects follow both the Italian and the British curriculum.
Opportunities
At the end of the middle school students can choose to continue their education attending one of our high schools.
Organization
Students are entitled to:
• Time for personal study.
• A timetable that allows the student to reflect on the topics discussed in class and make them their own;
• A timetable that enables internalising the subject matter through repetition, practice and re-working of the contents;
• An OPEN SCHOOL that ensures the presence, during the afternoon time slots, of teachers who are ready to assist students with the re-working, recovery and expansion of the subject matter.
• Meals: Children will have lunch at school with their teachers, and dietary requirements can be met for certified reasons;
• Workshops for detailed study and consolidation are optional (study-hall).
Our typical day is structured as follows:
Graduation
