| IT - LICEO CLASSICO STATALE "SOCRATE" |
|
Project Leader LICEO CLASSICO STATALE "SOCRATE" This high school´s mission is to provide integrated education to students, considered as both pupils and citizens, by transferring them contents and tools allowing them to develop a general method for critical knowledge. This, also making students aware of the reality of the individual seen as an actor, part of a network of relations and rules that guarantee a disciplined development of society. Such goals are pursued through the promotion of the rule of law, equal opportunities between men and women, respect for different ideas, cultural differences and religions and, hence, compliance with the Charter of High School Students ("Statuto delle Studentesse e degli Studenti della Scuola Superiore" - Presidential Decree n° 249/98). A feature of Italian "Liceo Classico" is focus on humanities, which are the core of teaching. This does not mean that these schools should restrict themselves to worshipping a sterile past. On the contrary, they should take methods and values from the past allowing living in the present and being more aware of oneself and the others. Actually, by adopting a comprehensive idea of humanism, the school is led to widen its subject range, and its curriculum also includes besides humanities, history and philosophy scientific subjects, which are crucial disciplines to any education. In fact, as public high schools in Italy are somehow free to supplement or slightly modify government curricula, Liceo Socrate decided to place additional focus on scientific subjects within the limits of said "freedom". |
