English and Italian programmes complement each other, with English being the core language. All core subjects are taught in English, and language courses are taught by certified, mother-tongue language teachers. Italian is taught on two paths: Italian as a foreign language (IFL) and the Italian Ministerial Programme (IMP). French is compulsory from grades 5 through 8; French is taught during school hours, and other languages are offered upon request as extracurricular activities.
All core subjects are taught in English, while language classes are taught by mother tongue teachers. French and Italian, as well as optional foreign languages, are all taught by qualified mother-tongue teachers.
Castelli International School combines Italian ministerial curriculum with Cambridge International qualifications, offering Cambridge Lower and Upper Secondary alongside Cambridge Checkpoint and IGCSE exams.
