Education information

Studying in Rome for schoolchildren, teenagers and students is a great opportunity for foreign students to visit one of the most popular cities in the world. Rome is truly an outstanding city, not only because of its history, but also because of its art, architecture and diversity of cultural life.

Everyone who wants to get an education in Rome will find several pleasant features: you will learn Italianor Englishon the shores of the Mediterranean Sea, where pleasant warm weather is almost all year round. On the territory of Rome you will find many educational institutions - schools, colleges and universities that can cover almost any linguistic needs of foreign students. The catalog of our website contains a list of international schools and training centers that foreign or Russian students choose for themselves every year.

Studying in Rome: Italian educational system

Education in Rome for schoolchildren, teenagers and students includes different levels of education: primary, secondary and high schools, colleges, universities, language programs. Schools in Italy, as well as in other foreign countries, are divided into public and private ones by the type of financing, and foreign students equally receive education in both types of institutions. However, schools with state support offer a national curriculum, and boarding schools offer an international format (includes instruction in English at courses not only of Italian origin, but also of American, Canadian or British), Italian is used as optional. The best, prestigious, leading boarding schools are located in Rome, Milan, Monza, Genoa, Siena and Modena.

Secondary education in Italy has three levels, each of which is required to obtain a certificate:

  • Elementary school (la scuola elementare)
  • Junior high school (la scuola media)
  • High school (la scuola media superiore).

At each stage students undergo exams, and after successful completion of all exams, foreign students can receive a document on secondary education in Italian.

Between the secondary school and the higher with the Italian education system, one more is provided - the lyceum (liceo). In Italy and Rome, this is a kind of preparation for the university, but the graduate will not succeed in going to work immediately after such a lyceum - you will first need to receive a certification document Esame di Maturità. Italian lyceums are divided into the following types:

  • Mixed
  • Humanitarian
  • Linguistic
  • Technical
  • Economic
  • Art criticism.

Each of the lyceums specializes in education in a particular field and offers a curriculum in accordance with this:

Type of Lyceum
