Our approach promotes fluency in speaking, reading and writing both in English and in Italian. The course of studies includes mathematics, science, social studies, music, art and physical education and the use of computers. The Scuola Media strengthens the bilingual and bicultural education begun in the lower school. It provides an environment where the child can develop and sharpen cognitive and imaginative skills. The Middle School fosters emotional development and growth, expanding the child's awareness and appreciation of European and American cultures and their values.
Special emphasis is placed on the study of mathematics and the natural and physical sciences.
The Liceo program gives students a solid foundation both in the humanities and sciences and prepares them for success in college and future careers. Integrating the best of the Italian and American systems, the Liceo provides its students with a thoroughly bilingual education. The curriculum offers a balance of studies in the classics and other humanities combined with an outstanding math and science program that will earn college credits in most American universities. The humanities program, interdisciplinary and integrated throughout the four years, includes the study of Italian, English, Latin language and literature, French, geography, history, philosophy, art and history of art, law and economics and physical education. Great emphasis is also placed on the study of mathematics, computer science, physics, biology and chemistry.
