Italian High School, known as Scuola Superiore, typically lasts five years and is attended by students aged 14 to 19. It offers various educational paths, including Liceo (academic), Istituto Tecnico (technical), and Istituto Professionale (vocational), allowing students to specialize in different fields. Students in Liceo focus on subjects like literature, mathematics, and foreign languages, while those in Istituto Tecnico study technical subjects related to specific industries. Istituto Professionale prepares students for direct entry into the workforce with practical skills. At the end of their studies, students take the Esame di Stato to earn their diploma.
