Secondary Education in Modena

At our High School in Modena, Italy, we offer 16 to 18-year-olds an exceptional internationally-focused education. Students can gain an equivalence to the Italian Maturità through their IBDP course selections.

During their time on the 2-year programme, those in Grades 12 and 13 are empowered with a deep understanding of how to critically view and apply knowledge, and responsibly invest in their chosen interests, which may include community service projects, sports pursuits, academic support or creative arts.

We seek to give our High School community the best secondary education in Modena with the support they need to thrive.

Why Choose Our High School in Modena?

Our High School education is founded upon a deep regard for each student's individual learning needs. Since 2015, students have attended our High School division from all over Italy, including neighbouring cities close to Modena and provinces near Emilia-Romagna.

We are also proud to welcome learners who have chosen to join our diverse student community from all over the world: currently, over 30 nationalities are represented across all stages. While enjoying a peaceful and well-equipped campus environment, High School learners explore their full potential in all areas. A committed team of educators delivers the prestigious IB course along with an extensive array of specialised sports coaching, personal interest clubs and art tuition.

High School Programme

Our High School's secondary education is built upon the widely-respected International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP), which offers three subjects at Higher Level (HL), and three at Standard Level (SL).

Students may decide which subjects they wish to develop based upon their interests and the university entry requirements for their chosen course. Although Higher Level subjects are more in-depth and extensive than Standard Level subjects, students develop a broad range of skills at both levels.

Upon the conclusion of the diploma programme cycle, students are assessed through external examinations. Many subjects also require students to complete coursework that is internally assessed by our teachers and externally moderated by the International Baccalaureate exam board.
