High School
Bes High School: Future continues here.
Our bilingual, four-year Liceo Scientifico delle Scienze Applicate offers an educational pathway that allows students to earn an Italian and Canadian dual diploma (Ontario Secondary School Diploma).In addition to the educational part, the BES high school focuses, as with all cycles of study, on each student's individual development.With an innovative and multidisciplinary curriculum, we prepare students to excel in a globalized world, forming critical thinkers and responsible citizens..
A dual degree with Italian and international curriculum
Our high school's four-year curriculum offers an innovative pathway that combines the Liceo Scientifico delle Scienze Applicate, recognized and equal according to MIUR directives, with the Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD), a Canadian curriculum counted among the most prestigious international diplomas. This program allows students to obtain a comprehensive education with 31 hours of perfectly bilingual in-person instruction that integrates applied science principles with a methodological and practical approach typical of Canadian education. In just four years, our male and female students achieve a double certification - Italian and international - thus guaranteeing solid scientific, technological and linguistic skills, and advanced preparation to enter the best universities in Italy and abroad.
Weekly indicative timetable
The school day starts at 8:15 a.m. and ends at 1:30 p.m. two days a week; however, on the other three days there is a return in the afternoon with a schedule of 8:15 a.m. to 4:15 p.m. On weekdays where no homeroom is scheduled, it is possible to participate in various extraclubs or group study activities. The official calendar for the 2026/2027 school year will be posted on this page soon.
In addition to the 31 hours per week of bilingual in-person classes, online classes will also be available for some extra credits in the Ontario Secondary School Diploma.
Global citizenship and focus on the individual
The theme of Global Citizenship and Integral Development is one of the central aspects of the Ontario Secondary School Diploma curriculum. The OSSD, in addition to offering a comprehensive educational program, enables students to gain a broad and cross-cultural educational perspective. The curriculum ranges from the sciences to humanities and international issues, encouraging students to address global issues and reflect on their role in society. Through interdisciplinary projects, study tours, and international collaborations, boys and girls acquire skills and competencies such as resilience, leadership, and a deep awareness of global interdependencies, developing an ethical and cultural sensitivity that prepares them to be responsible world citizens capable of contributing positively to their communities.
This approach not only enriches academic skills, but also allows for a unique educational experience in which one experiences the importance of diversity and cross-cultural dialogue, essential tools for meeting the challenges of the future.
