Classical Culture: This is one of the core courses of the first two years, common to all programs. It focuses not on the Latin language but on epic, poetry, and theater in the classical world. An extraordinary journey into Greek and Roman culture, which form the foundation of Western civilization.

Italian: The study of epic literature in the Classical Culture course allows the Italian course in the first two years to enhance linguistic skills and introduce students to reading and writing.

English: 4 hours per week, native-speaking teachers, language laboratories, and subject lessons taught in English (CLIL).

Geography: Studied from a human, political, and economic perspective, with a focus on world cultures and international relations.

Art History: Lessons start in the first year and are taught in parallel with the history curriculum.

STEM Scientific and Technological Laboratories: A dedicated space to apply the scientific method to real-world, everyday problems.

Environmental Education: A highly relevant course on sustainable human development, urbanization and pollution, renewable energy, waste management, recycling, and the human impact on the environment.

Digital Education: Elements of computer science, coding, robotics, the internet, artificial intelligence, and Office tools. You will learn how to create a video, a multimedia presentation, and a website.

Personal Development: Study methods, teamwork, communication, self-confidence, and goal orientation.

Civic Education: Law, citizenship and institutions, the Constitution, forms of state and government, and international organizations.

Economic and Financial Education: Elements of economics and personal finance: budgeting, saving and investments, opening a bank account, applying for a loan, understanding a paycheck, and starting a business.

Wellness: Education on nutrition and healthy living, sexual education, and sports, including non-traditional ones such as yoga, pilates, dance, meditation, and aerobics.

Scientific Method: In the laboratory, you will learn science through hands-on experience, reflecting on both errors and the results of your work.

Interdisciplinary Training: You will learn to understand the relationship between scientific progress and human development, applying scientific disciplines to real-world problems.

Technological Proficiency: You will learn to use digital technologies to successfully tackle challenges and make the world a better place.

Problem Solving: You will develop the ability to find innovative solutions to problems, training your logic, critical thinking, creativity, and teamwork skills.

Project-Based Learning: By working on projects, you will gain goal orientation and the ability to plan activities. In your field, you will strive to be the best.

English Proficiency: You will strengthen your English, including scientific English, the official language of the international scientific community, enabling you to continue your studies abroad.

University Pathways 

You can continue your studies in all university faculties, particularly Medicine, Mathematics and Physics, Biology and Biotechnology, Engineering, Natural Sciences, Computer Science, Chemistry and Pharmacy, as well as Economics and Architecture.

Career Opportunities

You can launch your own innovative startup or enter numerous emerging job markets, both in Italy and abroad.

As a Professional: In professional fields such as engineering, architecture, biology, and medicine; in universities, research offices, research institutions, and international organizations, in the scientific sector; in healthcare, within the medical field.

As a Manager: In companies, institutions, and consulting firms, in research and development, engineering, information technology and telecommunications, management, energy, environment, and territory.

Open Day: Attending an Open Day is the perfect opportunity to get to know the school up close. Through multimedia presentations, the Headmaster and teachers illustrate the teaching method, programs, and the IESS experience to families. Students participate in interactive workshops where they can experience the IESS method with the help of our current students. Open Days are held in person. Reservation is required.

Stage: Spending a morning at school is an exciting way to experience a typical day at IESS firsthand, alongside older students. Open classes, workshops, group work, and dialogue with teachers allow students to get to know the Active Learning method and understand what it means to learn in an active way! Stages are always open.

Visits: A meeting with the Headmaster can be a great opportunity to gather more information, clarify doubts, and explore personal situations. It can also be the chance to visit the school, learn more about the IESS method, or gain a deeper understanding of the teaching approach for certain subjects.

We look forward to seeing you!
