The school has always been operating to offer a valid alternative to those who, for different reasons, could not conclude their academic paths.
From teenagers, who after a period of bewilderment or confusion, want to make up for lost time, to young workers who wish to widen their cultural experience, also for the purpose of their jobs.
From adults who have stopped their studies from a long time and who wish to complete them, to those who, being in the difficult age where expectations of easy earnings are a deviation towards wrong life models, wish to “go back” to their abandoned academic paths.
Failure or abandonment of one’s own academic path are not so rare among kids during adolescence and youth: the growth path can register difficulties due to bad teaching quality in some schools, or personal or health issues. In these cases, the possibility to recover years represents a winning solution.
The school where one can attend this specific study course, however, must be chosen carefully, so as to not compromise the quality of learning due to the wide programme to cover. In this sense, the Montessori International Centre offers the opportunity to recover lost school years.

These qualifying exams, commonly known as “vertical exams”, allow the recovery of school years and can be taken to achieve the title for the class you want to attend in the academic year following the one of the exam.
Alongside qualifying exams, you can also take supplementary exams, that do not allow you to recover school years, like qualifying exams, but allow you to change study course, moving from a class you have the title for, to another of a different study course.
To have more information on time, modalities and requirements to take these exams, please contact the school’s Administrative Office.
In this context, to recover a year of school does not mean to just bring back the clock’s hands, but to recover, especially from a cultural point of view, a piece of road which was lost within oneself.

“Are you lost? Remember it is not a shame to get lost in the huge forest of life. Even though you have taken the wrong road look around with curiosity and you will glimpse a beautiful mosaic of images. Are you suffering? Truth comes from suffering […] Be yourself, find your way. Try to get to know yourself before others.” (Janus Korczak)
