Middle school

The curriculum of the Middle School has an International orientation and supplements English curriculum hours so that the student, in addition to meeting Ministry programme requirements, is prepared to take English Language certification exams at the KET or PET (A1/B2) levels recognized by the British Council.

The language component at Middle School is completed with a Third Language (L3), a choice between Spanish and French and the introduction of the CLIL methodology (Content and Language Integrated Learning or learning subjects in a foreign language): Art (English L2), Technology (English L2) and Music (Spanish or French L3).

• Subjects in Italian L1: Italian (9 hours); Math and Science (9 hours); History and Geography (4 hours); Physical Education (2 hours); Music (1 hours); Religion/Alternative (1 hour);
• Subjects in English L2: English (5 hours); Art (2 hours); Technology (2 hours);
• Subjects in Spanish or French L3: Spanish/French (3 hours); Music (1 hours).

In the afternoon, once lessons are finished, the students may participate in optional extra-curricular activities such as sports (dance); music (piano, guitar, violin), and languages (Chinese, Sing in English, and additional French and Spanish L3 courses for the preparation of international exams).

Fundamental to the Middle School are the principles and distinctive features that have characterized, throughout its history, the Kindergarten School: the centrality of the child, personal and social responsibility, individual implication and active participation by the student in the construction of learning and the educating community, inclusion, citizenship, maximum attention paid to the teaching-learning relationship, quality of learning outcomes, a relationship of trust with families.
