Recognition of Italian National Diploma

In the final two years, students, thanks to a targeted selection of subjects within the Diploma Programme, will have the opportunity to follow pathways that will allow them to achieve the equivalent of the national Diploma. Specifically, with the right combination of exams, it will be possible to obtain legal equivalency to the State Exam, which is officially recognized by the MIUR, thus ensuring full recognition of the qualification at the national level.

A Respected International Curriculum for High School

At our high school in Monza and Brianza, our curriculum is split into two phases, each of them lasting two years: Grades 10 to 11 follow the Middle Years Programme (MYP) of the IB continuum, while learners in Grades 12 and 13 take the IBDP or IBCP*.

In the first phase of secondary school, learners embark on a mix of compulsory and optional subjects, which earn them credits. The IBDP stage is a rigorous pre-university course designed to produce knowledgeable, inquiring, caring and compassionate learners. The areas of focus at this stage include fostering intercultural awareness, open-mindedness and respect for others' point of view.
