OBJECTIVES

The main objective of "La Scuola Italiana a Londra" is to create an Italian school which is fully integrated with the British context in which it operates. It will be a school which integrates the Italian Curriculum, internationally recognised as the great strength of the Italian school system, with the best aspects of the British education system, in particular its educational objectives and teaching methods.

"La Scuola Italiana a Londra" will therefore have a fully bilingual and bicultural curriculum.

The strongest belief behind the project, and of those involved in it, is that being bilingual does not mean simply being able to communicate perfectly in two languages but it also encourages the development of a more open and mature way of thinking. We strongly believe that bilingualism and a broader cultural background are fundamental stones in the building of a new generation of citizens who increasingly have to cope with, and adapt to, cultural diversity.
What is more, bilingual teaching offers two further advantages: firstly it makes it possible for the school to be open to anybody outside the Italian or Anglo-Italian community (about 47% of the students at the Italian school in New York come from American families); secondly it will allow its students to move freely back into either the Italian or the British school system at any point during their academic career.

Students at "La Scuola Italiana a Londra" will benefit from a broader and more complete education which combines Latin and British cultures, the values of which are at the base of the new Europe.

"La Scuola Italiana a Londra" aims to offer a safe and nurturing learning environment where students are encouraged to fulfil their personal and academic potential. We will inspire a passion for knowledge in general as well as stimulating the personal interests and abilities of each student. The school will promote self-discipline whilst encouraging freedom of thought and creativity.
