Italian Curriculum

At our school, students have the opportunity to follow the National Curriculum Guidelines, the same academic pathway offered in Italian public schools. This option allows children to remain fully aligned with the national Italian curriculum, ensuring that their learning progresses at the sazme pace as students enrolled in the Italian school system.

For students who are not native Italian speakers or who prefer not to follow the full Ministerial Program, we offer the ISL (Italian as a Second Language) program. ISL supports students—especially those who have recently moved to Italy—in developing the foundational Italian communication skills they need to succeed both socially and academically. The program focuses on building vocabulary, confidence, and functional language skills that help students participate comfortably in school life.

Through both pathways, our goal is to provide individualized support and ensure that every student can thrive in an environment that respects their background, needs, and future plans.

Curriculum

National Curriculum
(Ministerial program)

The Italian National Curriculum is introduced in Elementary School and continue through Middle School up to 8th grade, providing students with a clear and consistent academic pathway. The curriculum follows official Italian school programs, which are regularly updated to reflect national educational standards and reforms, giving students a solid foundation fully aligned with the Italian Ministry of Education.

Throughout the year, students complete the required coursework and, at the end of the academic year, take the Italian state exams, which assess whether they have achieved the grade-level objectives established by the Italian Ministry of Education. Successfully completing this pathway ensures that students can seamlessly continue their educational journey within the Italian school system, including high schools and universities, without experiencing academic gaps or delays.
