ITCS PRIMO LEVI - Liceo Linguistico - Bollate

The linguistic high school develops the tradition of Primo Levi's Linguistic Address by providing for the study of three foreign languages within a wide range of possibilities: in addition to English, the officially universal language, French and German, the most common european languages  "Useful" in the large-scale distribution and industrial sectors. Russian, the language of the largest country on the European continent and Spanish, the second most spoken language in the world, after English.  The presence of Latin elements in the first two years enriches and consolidates the deepening of linguistic structures.

The linguistic curriculum is aimed at the formation of a figure with knowledge and skills that allow both the continuation of university studies and the insertion into work activities for which the knowledge of foreign languages is an indispensable requirement.
 During the five years the student will have the opportunity to deepen, together with the contents characterizing the high school culture, the study of foreign languages both under the aspect of linguistic-communicative skills according to the training parameters established by the EU, and under the literary and historical-philological aspect.
