The age of momentous experiences, to deepen self-awareness and relations with others
A scholastic path concentrated on laboratory learning, with interdisciplinary experiences. The objective is to foster the development of more flexible thinking, open to environmental stimuli, and the acquisition of self-awareness and knowledge of one’s roots, as well as a greater openness to societal changes and a greater understanding of diversity.
In addition, the students are assisted in orienting themselves in order to allow them to make an informed decision regarding their future learning path.
