Curriculum

A five-year course that is paritaria to the Italian national curriculum

With majority instruction in the English Language and incorporating elements that extend learning towards standards typical of international schools. Pupils are prepared for INVALSI tests at both Seconda and Quinta Elementare.

Within this framework, we have a multilingual teaching staff, including Italian teachers, English-speaking teachers and native English-speaking teachers, who enrich the learning experience through:

• - daily activities in English;
• - international teaching methodologies;
• - the development of critical thinking;
• - cultural openness to the wider world.
•  

Our goal is to combine the strengths of the Italian school curriculum with a global outlook, preparing students for an international future.

International Curriculum with pathway towards Licenza Media

Sardinia International School has developed its own curriculum for Years 7, 8 and 9, centred on elements from the National Curriculum of England and Wales, as well as curricula from the United States; whilst providing an option and teaching support for students to prepare, in parallel, for the Italian Esame di Terza Media in Year 9. 

For Italian students and for those who plan to reside in Italy long-term, the school offers: 

• - Italian mother-tongue lessons;
• - integrated preparation for the Esame di Terza Media, taken at partner schools in the local area;
• - specialist lessons in Year 3, scheduled before or after regular school hours.
•  

This approach allows students to remain fully aligned with the Italian school system while simultaneously acquiring the linguistic and academic skills typical of international programmes.
