Introduction

Liceo STEAM International Carpi Campus is a private, state-recognized high school opened in September 2025. Located at Via Corbolani 1/A, opposite Carpi railway station, the four-year Liceo Scientifico with an applied sciences option blends Italian ministerial guidelines with an Anglo-Saxon practical, experiential approach. The program alternates theory with laboratory work and maintains ongoing collaboration with local companies to connect classroom study with real projects. Up to 50% of instruction is delivered in English, and students prepare for Cambridge IGCSE exams in English, Mathematics, and Sciences, with Cambridge A-Levels in Mathematics (mandatory) and Physics (optional) as part of the advanced track. The curriculum culminates in the Italian Esame di Stato, and the school actively links study with the productive sector through 300 hours of work-based learning across two bienniums. The campus is hosted within the Polo Tecnologico Universitario, featuring laboratories and project spaces that support Mecha, Bit, Life, and Social projects.
