Classical High School

The academic path offered by the Classical High School of the Montessori International Centre is focused on reaching the following objectives:

Achieving a complete knowledge on the various aspects of our culture.
Learning Ancient Greek and Latin to better understand the Italian Language.
Developing good reasoning and text interpretation skills.
Thinking critically about knowledge forms and relations, knowing how to position the classical thought in a humanistic dimension.

Our Classical High School therefore offers a wide and articulated education, where classical and humanistic culture assume a key role, simplifying the comprehension of western tradition and its implications on our present and future. Thanks to these premises, our Classical High School encourages the interchange between humanistic and scientific disciplines, so as to allow a critical analysis of reality, providing the keys to enter any area of knowledge.

The added value of our Classical High School is to allow every student to create an adequate study method to encourage the approach to any university, as classes are formed by a small number of students. As a matter of fact, our teaching methods put students at the centre of the educational project, along with their needs, desires and aspirations. Their competences and personal qualities are stimulated and enriched, with the aim of creating a critical conscience and build the basis for a long-lasting and permanent learning.

Another peculiarity of our school is the co-presence in class of a native English teacher, who’s job is to study the main curricular subjects straight in English, with moments dedicated to conversation. This allows both the strengthening of the academic contents already studied in Italian, and the acquisition of the foreign language. This activity is placed in an academic path which allows those who join the school at a very young age to speak, read and write accurately in two different languages, Italian and English (find out more Why choose a bilingual school).

For those who will chose to continue with their studies, our Classical High School favours the access to both humanistic universities, like classical or modern literature, psychology, and educational science, and technical and scientific universities, like engineering, medicine, biology, chemistry, chemistry and pharmaceutical technologies, economy.
