I.I.S.S. “Alpi –Montale “

I.I.S.S. “Alpi –Montale “ is a high secondary State school born from the fusion of “ALPI”: a Scientific/Linguistic/Human Science and Applied Science school and” Montale”: a technical school divided in an Economical sector and a Graphic and Communication one.

The  Headmistress promotes internationalization so the school is engaged with international projects: 

1. eTwinning projects (receiving the National Quality Labels and the European Quality Labels) 

2.  school/class exchanges. 

3. Erasmus + ( a K219 + 2 KA229) projects called 1) “With Teen Eyes” with other 5 countries, 2) Young Entrepreneurs in Europe with 3 other countries, 3) Migrants Biographies: Europe on the move with 3 other countries. 

4. One Erasmus + KA101- D.E.Co.De._S (promoted by the local Educational Board on the comparison of effective leadership) 

5. TransAlp project with a French School realizing an exchange of 2 students studying for 2 months in France/Italy.

6. Stages abroad to get the linguistic certifications 

7. Intercultural programs allowing students to stay from 6 to 12 months abroad, studying and staying there.

8. Euroschool programs, allowing students to attend a session in the Strasbourg parliament.

9. Beside European languages, the school organizes also courses of Chinese and Arabic

The School “Alpi-Montale” promotes the CLIL methodology, having also CLIL traininig teachers and using Clil in classes.

To empower our students’ scientific and linguistic competences we take part in projects like : “ Global Citizen” and “EduCHANGE” and “Global Teaching Lab” with the MIT of Boston. Our school is also involved in Unesco projects.

Beside languages, we promote digital competences too through training courses on new methodologies and use of the White Interactive Board. We use also the BYOD system so students employ their IPADs, tablets and Digital Books, but also the BYON, using their network. Our Labs are well equipped with good PCs and Mac too, because of the graphic sector which needs performing PCs.

Taking part to this project is a great opportunity for our school, the teachers, but above all, for the students for it allows to open their minds, to know new cultures, way of living and stimulates the idea of welcoming people but mainly promotes and empowers the feeling of being European Active citizens.
