World Openness
Educational Project
Cultivating global citizenship through international perspectives, cultural exchange, and opportunities to connect with diverse communities around the world.
“The schools of the Jesuit Education Foundation network are committed to forming competent, conscious, compassionate and engaged global citizens.”
— Fondazione Gesuiti Educazione
Forming Global Citizens
Global citizenship promotes openness to the world and the ability to engage with the complexity of contemporary society, recognising the richness of cultural diversity. At Gonzaga Campus, this is not an add-on but a structural dimension: from bilingual immersion in Infanzia to the full IB continuum at ISP, from Cambridge certifications to international exchanges, every student develops the competences to be a responsible citizen of the world.
Multilingualism
Enhanced English (315h/year in Primaria), Spanish, and native-speaker teaching create genuine multilingual competence. Languages are not just subjects but tools for intercultural understanding and global communication.
Cultural Exchange
International exchanges, national and international school network partnerships (Jesuit worldwide network of 1,000+ institutions), and a multicultural student body naturally foster empathy, curiosity and respect for diversity.
Global Citizenship Education
A transversal thread woven through all subjects: education in human rights, legality, sustainability, peace, and active citizenship. International commemorative days become occasions for reflection and concrete action.
International Accreditation
Cambridge certifications from primary school, IB programmes across the full continuum, and a Diploma recognised by the world's most prestigious universities ensure students can access opportunities anywhere in the world.
Global Challenges, Local Answers
Preparing students for a interconnected world requires balancing international perspectives with deep local roots and authentic cultural identity.
Multilingual Competence
In a globalised world, monolingualism limits opportunity, understanding and connection. But genuine multilingual competence requires more than lessons: it needs immersion, authentic use, and cultural context.
Gonzaga Campus provides a structured multilingual environment: English enhanced to 315 hours/year in Primaria with native speakers, Spanish as a third language, CLIL methodology, and the full ISP programme in English. Small group splitting ensures personalised language development.
