Lower secondary school

“It is sheer madness not to embrace who we truly are, to the fullest extent.”

Why Choose the San Carpoforo Secondary School?

The Secondary School aims to combine a comprehensive academic preparation with personal growth, helping students become active members of society. The core principles guiding this journey are rooted in the pedagogy of the Assumption: the development of critical thinking, respect for individual growth stages, attention to personal needs, and openness to others.

This openness is realized through the school’s international project, which includes a bilingual curriculum offering a significant number of lessons in English, subjects taught through CLIL (Content and Language Integrated Learning), and the opportunity to take Cambridge exams and engage in experiences abroad.
