The main feature of the type of education offered by “C.Bocchi” grammar school is the knowledge and use of language. It is only by knowing a language, be it Italian, Greek, Latin or foreign, that we can know the world, our region, history and our times in all their complexity. Language, therefore, plays a central role in all the curricular and non-curricular activities which the school offers.
