The institute was founded in the school year 1972/73 as a branch of the Scientific High School – Liceo Scientifico- based Terni -the main town in our province- later becoming an autonomous school in 1985.
Our students chose to name it ‘Gandhi’ to testify both the value given to non-violence as an approach to teaching, learning and living in general and to the possible coexistence of models of different cultures.
Over the years, local requirements have changed the Istituto Superiore Gandhi, making it a reference point for a heterogeneous and articulated basin.
Students can enroll in one of the many branches we offer: Scientific ‘Liceo’ with Applied Sciences and Sports options, Foreign Languages ‘Liceo’ , Social Sciences ‘Liceo’, with a social- economic option, or the Technical Institute for Construction, Environment and Territory.
The wide range of courses on offer allows the Istituto Istruzione Superiore Gandhi to respond very effectively to the demands coming from the society and the world of work.
For many years, I.I.S. Gandhi has enriched its educational offer through numerous activities and complementary European projects aimed at understanding the cultural, political, legislative, social and economic conditions, rights and duties that characterise our being a European citizen.
TheI.I.S. Gandhi wants to create an open school as a permanent laboratory for research, experimentation and teaching innovation, which allows active participation and guarantees the right to education and equal opportunities for educational success to all its students.
