Scientific High School
The curriculum of the Scientific high school promotes the acquisition of knowledge and methods in mathematics, physics and the natural sciences. It guides the students to broaden and develop their knowledge and skills, to acquire the necessary competences to follow the development of scientific and technological research and to identify the interactions between the various forms of knowledge, ensuring the mastery of the relevant languages, techniques and methodologies, including through laboratory work.
The specific learning objectives for the Scientific High School are contained in Ministerial Decree 211 of 7 October 2010 'National Directions', Annex F.

Annual timetable
Course in Biology with a biomedical orientation
In a number of schools, an experimental specialisation-orientation course is in operation, which provides for the introduction of the subject of Biology with a biomedical focus from the third year onward.
This three-year course allows students to acquire skills in the biological field, including through laboratory work, and enables those interested in pursuing studies in the chemical-biological and health fields to make an informed choice.
The annual total is 50 hours, 40 of which are spent at the school's laboratories (both with teachers and with medical experts) and 10 hours, in cross-disciplinary skills and PCTO orientation courses, at healthcare facilities identified by the Provincial Association of Surgeons and Dentists.
