The Academic Program: We offer the US Curriculum (such as English Literature, American History, Civics) integrated with the curriculum of a Liceo Scientifico Tradizionale(with latin), quadriennale, with the possibility of independent study or tutors for courses required by other Licei.
Classes are taught in English and Italian by professors in their native language; French as a modern language is also taught by a professor of native tongue.

Upon completion of the Esame di Stato, La Scuola issues a traditional high school diploma, legally recognized in Italy, the European Union and the USA, which allows access to Italian, European and American universities.
Students who decide to enroll in both the 11th and 12th grade (equivalent to IV e V in Italy) have the possibility of obtaining the Diploma of the International Baccalaureate (IB Diploma Program).
The academic program is enriched by numerous extracurricular initiatives with New York City, such as educational outings, visits to museums and places of historical and natural interest.
