At ISP the use of the english language is not a separate educational objective, but it is a means to prepare students for a global context where all language skills, formal and informal, are a prerequisite, constitute a cost of mind to help them understand and solve the problems of contemporary society.

According to these purposes, english, italian, a third language, digital and mass media languages, become a common denominator, the trait d’union, among the different disciplinary areas that the students face in their training process.

The use of the language becomes a learning tool in other teaching areas and in everyday life, facilitating its use during different times of the school day. Children are encouraged to use english language as much as possible to prepare them for the final exam. Their attempts to communicate and make them understood are valued in a good way.

Teachers support the learning process and encourage a correct use of the language, creating a stimulating environment and acting as an example themselves.

Students up to 14 years old follow lessons and a study programme mainly in english, integrated by lessons in italian language to allow each student to speak fluently in both languages in order to prepare them for the secondary school final exam.

Subsequently, all lessons are exclusively in english, except for the other foreign languages, taught by mother tongue teachers.
