Starting from the next academic year, Latin will be introduced as an elective subject for MYP4 and MYP5, enriching our curriculum with a discipline that connects classical studies to a modern, global educational environment.
Even in a school strongly focused on innovation, technology and international perspectives, we believe that classical studies continue to play a valuable role in shaping critical thinking, cultural awareness and intellectual flexibility.
As our Italian Literature and Latin Teacher Mr. Pizzolato explains:
“The new Latin course aims to provide students with solid analytical, critical and linguistic skills, as well as interdisciplinary knowledge that brings together language, culture, history and society.
In this sense, the Latin course proposed at school will follow a modern, deductive teaching method, constantly connected with other languages and with both the historical and social context of the past and of today.
Studying Latin today means learning many different subjects at the same time. Those who have studied this language often say how much it helped them develop both logical and mathematical skills, as well as humanistic and literary ones. Isn’t that so?”
We look forward to offering our students this new opportunity to engage with the roots of language and culture, while continuing to build skills for the future.
