Italian Curriculum High School

Vittoria Schools Torino has been offering a nationally accredited Italian Curriculum High School for nearly 50 years in the heart of Turin.

The educational pathway includes two alternative options, the five-year traditional curriculum or the four-year experimental one.

The programme

Vittoria Italian Curriculum High School offers a choice between two educational pathways: a traditional five-year or an experimental four-year curriculum. 

Students can choose among three options: Modern Languages, Law and Economics and Arts and Literature (only for the five-year program). Each option allows students to deepen their specific interests and enhance their personal aptitude.

  • Modern Languages

    An impressive commitment to three foreign languages throughout the whole pathway is the core feature of this option, with a strong focus on the civilisation and culture of different countries. This contributes to engenders a true sense of European integration and promotes upward mobility in academics and work in an international setting.

  • Law and Economics

    The focus on law and economics trains students to become knowledgeable citizens and opens the school to the outside world. The course supports students along their path to pursue a university degree in the field of law or business/economics.

  • Arts and Literature

    This approach to humanities focuses on the awareness of the past while also looking toward the future. Studentes will cultivate their ability to use different visual languages and styles, ultimately gaining access to higher studies in architecture, environmental protection, cultural heritage and communication.

Language certifications

Students at the high school obtain international language certifications in all the languages studied, recognized both academically and professionally. Preparation takes place during regular morning lessons as well as through afternoon extracurricular courses dedicated to language enhancement.

Among the exams offered are Cambridge English (PET, FCE, CAE, Proficiency, IELTS), DELE for Spanish, DELF for French, and CILS for Italian as a foreign language, with levels ranging from basic to advanced depending on the student’s curriculum.

University guidance

The school supports students in choosing the most suitable university path through a comprehensive Career Guidance programme that includes seminars, university fairs, preparatory courses for entrance exams (SAT, TOLC, etc.), and personalized tutoring and counselling for both students and parents.

Graduates continue their studies in various fields such as medicine, economics, law, design, and tourism. Over 60% choose to attend universities abroad in Europe, the United Kingdom, the United States, and Canada, while others enroll in international programmes at Italian institutions such as Bocconi, LUISS, San Raffaele, and ESCP. Among our alumni are students admitted to prestigious universities including Oxford, Cambridge, LSE, UCL, Warwick, Edinburgh, and New York University.

Why choose our Italian Curriculum High School

The new four-year curriculum

As the Italian school system begins to be comparable with international systems, The Ministry of Education and Merit (MIM) has authorised some novel approaches to instituting four-year high schools. The course offered at Vittoria is nationally accredited and offers provisions for language and international certifications. Our innovative solution represents a blend of the traditional five-year high school experience and the international Upper Secondary School course of study.

 

A degree that goes beyond borders

Our interdisciplinary course of study equips students with a wealth of valuable language skills. The resulting benefit means that they are prepared to enter any university department in Italy or abroad.

International diplomas and certifications

Language certifications enrich the curriculum for all our students and count as university credit for subsequent studies. Specifically, our school aims for all its students to achieve the minimum B2 level of language proficiency for each language in the curriculum.

Daily communication between school and families

We invite families to become involved in their children’s studies and create a balanced school life. The school website has an area dedicated to updating family members on students’ activities and achievements. In addition, the school makes sure to provide timely information on everything related to notices and deadlines via e-mail.

 

Study trips and work experience abroad

Our school encourages and supports learning abroad and welcomes students from other countries. Experiences with schools outside Italy are organised both during the school year and when school is not in session.

High-quality teaching staff

The teachers at our school are well-qualified and motivated, and they work to ensure continuity in the studies your children undertake. Our priority is to create a comfortable and friendly environment for students that is conducive to learning.

A variety of teaching techniques

Our teachers employ an array of teaching techniques, such as traditional lectures, interactive activities, co-teaching and peer education projects. They also create flipped classroom experiences and make use of various languages in addition to audiovisual and multimedia aids.

Promotion of excellence

We believe in helping students reach higher levels of excellence. For those students with a special talent or ability, we offer opportunities to participate in extracurricular activities, competitions, and national and international projects, including customised learning strategies.
