Liceo linguistico

Liceo linguistico (Italian: [liˈtʃɛːo liŋˈɡwistiko]; literally linguistic lyceum) is a type of secondary school in Italy. It is designed to give students the skills to progress to any university or higher educational institution.[1] Students can attend the liceo linguistico after successfully completing middle school (scuola media).

The curriculum is devised by the Ministry of Education, and emphasises the link between the multiculturalism and language learning.[1] It covers a complete and widespread range of disciplines.[2]

Students typically study for five years, and attend the school from the age of 14 to 19. At the end of the fifth year all students sit for the esame di Stato, a final examination which gives access to every university course.

A student attending a liceo is called liceale, although the more generic terms studente (male) and studentessa (female) are also in common use. Teachers are known as professore (male) or professoressa (female).
