Didactic objectives
Teaching objectives relate to the international certifications of curricular languages.
Other examinations concern the Cambridge curriculum and are related to subjects studied in English.
Secondary school plays a decisive role in the education of young teenagers. It should follow the transformation of students, who are still children at the end of primary school, into aware and responsible adolescents.
Subjets
The subjects follow both the Italian and the British curriculum.
Opportunities
At the end of the middle school students can choose to continue their education attending one of our high schools.
Organization
Students are entitled to:
• Time for personal study;
• A timetable that allows the student to reflect on the topics discussed in class and make them their own;
• A timetable that enables internalising the subject matter through repetition, practice and re-working of the contents;
• An OPEN SCHOOL that ensures the presence, during the afternoon time slots, of teachers who are ready to assist students with the re-working, recovery and expansion of the subject matter;
• Meals: Children will have lunch at school with their teachers, and dietary requirements can be met for certified reasons.
• Workshops for detailed study and consolidation are optional (study-hall).
Our typical day is structured as follows:
Graduation
Our young Sipers obtain the Italian and English diploma. Last year they scored above the international average. Well done!
Experiences abroad
Educational trips have a strong didactic and educational importance and make up part of the annual programming. Each year, students are involved in at least two experiences abroad visiting partner schools.
