GINNASIO ANTONIO SEMA PIRANO- GIMNAZIJA ANTONIO SEMA PIRAN
Partner
Ginnasio Antonio Sema Pirano is a secondary school with Italian language of instruction, based on the general secondary school programme. It is the only Italian high school in the bilingual area of the municipality of Piran and provides secondary education to students predominately from Italian minority elementary schools.
A relatively small number of pupils allows individualization of lessons and improved personal relations. A lot of stress is put on our students’ personal growth, their general knowledge, and we are also interested in their success in further education and life.
Another great strength of our school is the opportunity for the students to come into contact with two cultures, Italian and Slovenian. The Italian language is the students’ mother tongue while the Slovenian language is the language of the environment. It is precisely this constant exposure to multi-lingual culture which makes our students more aware; they are better prepared for a successful life in a multicultural society where different cultures intertwine and co-shape the life of a community.
We are dedicated to improving our teaching practices, we encourage cross-curricular learning and connection with broader learning environment, offer a thoughtful selection and implementation of optional contents, and counsel on professional training of our employees.
We try to help each student discover and develop his or her talents. We, therefore, insist towards maximizing the individual approach towards instruction: we offer a large selection of foreign languages, artistic optional content, additional contents in scientific subjects, and an array of Matura exam non-compulsory subject courses.
