Canadian College Italy
Canadian College Italy, or CCI, is an independent Canadian-accredited school in Lanciano, Abruzzo, Italy. This school is for students in grades 9 to 12 and prepares them for university. It follows the rules of the Ontario Ministry of Education, which is the education department in the Canadian province of Ontario, for Overseas Schools. CCI helps students prepare for universities in the United States, UK, Canada, and Europe.
Founded by Marisa DiCarlo D'Alessandro in 1995, CCI is Canada's only private high school in Italy. It's a boarding school for Canadian, American, and international students who want to study abroad. The school's mission is to provide a unique environment where students experience growth academically, socially, and culturally.
The primary school building is a 14th-century three-story stone and brick palace on Via Cavour. It was a family home in the 1300s and later served as the Canadian Headquarters for troops during World War II. CCI Boys live on the top floor of the school building on Via Cavour, while the girls stay in the town's oldest inn, Antica Locanda Allegria.
The Ministry of Education in Ontario, Canada, inspects the school, and students earn credits toward the Ontario Secondary School Diploma. CCI is also a member of the European Council of International Schools. At CCI, students follow a challenging university-preparation academic curriculum. They learn subjects like Mathematics, Classical Civilization, Chemistry, Physics, Biology, Social Science, English, Art, and Drama. All courses are taught in English, except for international languages. Lanciano's over 3,300-year history provides a rich backdrop for the students' residences and the main school building, making it a unique and historical learning environment.
