Liceo Scientifico Cambridge Vittoria Torino

Five-Year Scientific High School – Applied Sciences

Five-year programme in Italian with a Cambridge curriculum

The new Scientific High School with an Applied Sciences option combines the strength of Italian scientific education with an international outlook. The curriculum places particular emphasis on English, mathematics and science, through an enhanced approach that follows international standards and focuses on the practical application of knowledge.

A scientific high school with an international outlook

The five-year programme combines the study of scientific subjects with the development of language skills, critical thinking and the scientific method. Computer science is taught in all five years, allowing students to gradually build digital skills and the tools to understand and tackle contemporary technological challenges. The absence of Latin leaves more room for the scientific and technological area, while maintaining a solid high school education.
