IGCSE, IB Diploma

Collegio Vescovile Pio X International offers a 4-year course of study split into two courses of 2 year duration featuring the curricula of the Cambridge International General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE) and the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IB DP). At the end of each 2 year period, students will sit external examinations in each of the subject studied.

All subjects – apart from Italian and Spanish/French/German – are taught in English; During IGCSE pupils follow a set of subjects balanced around the subject areas suggested by Cambridge. Later, in their IB DP years, students will choose a personalized discipline set, where High Level Subjects and Standard Level Subjects can be arranged with more freedom. In this context, the core subjects of Creativity, Activity and Service (CAS), Theory of Knowledge (TOK) and the Extended Essay (EE) make the IB DP a unique educational experience.
