A "liceo" is a type of secondary school found in several countries, particularly in Italy and Spain. It typically serves students aged 14 to 19 and focuses on preparing them for higher education. The curriculum often includes a mix of academic subjects, such as literature, mathematics, and science, along with foreign languages and arts. In Italy, the liceo is divided into different types, such as liceo classico, which emphasizes classical studies, and liceo scientifico, which focuses on scientific subjects. In Spain, the equivalent is known as "bachillerato," which also prepares students for university entrance exams.
