San Marino Scuola Secondaria Superiore - Liceo Classico

The Liceo Classico is the oldest secondary school in the Republic of San Marino, dating back to 1883. It offers a comprehensive education with a focus on humanities, but also includes a strong scientific component.

The school prides itself on a close student-teacher relationship due to small class sizes. Opportunities include study trips related to the curriculum, modules on archaeology, theatrical performances of classical texts, and collaborations with the State Museum, State Archives, State Library, and San Marino RTV.
