Scientific High School with Applied Sciences option

The academic path offered by the Scientific High School with Applied Sciences option of the Montessori International Centre is focused on reaching the following objectives:

Learning scientific concepts, principles and theories also through operational examples in the lab.
Elaborating the critical analysis of the events considered, the methodological reflection on experimental procedures, and the research of strategies aimed at encouraging the scientific discovery.
Analysing logical structures and the models involved in the scientific research.
Capturing the characteristics and contribution of various languages (natural-historical, symbolic, mathematical, logical, formal, artificial).
Understanding the role of technology as mediation between science and daily life.
Knowing how to use IT tools in relation to the analysis of data and the modelling of specific scientific problems and knowing how to capture the function of IT in scientific development.
Knowing how to apply scientific methods in different fields.

The Applied Sciences option offers the student skills that are particularly advanced in scientific and technological sciences, with particular reference to mathematical, physical, chemical, biological and IT sciences and their application.

The added value of our Scientific High School with Applied Sciences option 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 Scientific High School favours the access to both technical and scientific universities, like engineering, medicine, biology, chemistry, chemistry and pharmaceutical technologies, economy, and humanistic universities, like modern literature, psychology, and educational science.
