A deep exposure to the classical world and direct comparison with the original classical texts have been part of the Jesuit high school tradition since the beginning. To enter into this perspective, it is necessary to immerse oneself in the classical world by working a lot on languages with a laboratory approach (to experience the taste of the art of translation) and immediately starting to tackle the great themes of classicism through creative methods (daily life, archaeology, the discovery of the ancient world, the comparison between the cultures of the ancient world). The learning experience is enriched by immersions in classical culture (arts and theater workshop) and those directly "in the field" (visits in Italy and abroad, Syracuse, twinning with the "Arsakeio" High School of Thessaloniki).

The curriculum of the Gonzaga Campus Classical High School renews this tradition in the awareness that it is an effective key to interpreting today's society. Even today, dialogue with the classics stimulates us to confront the great questions of man of all times, demonstrating their powerful relevance. This ability to promote the formation of a unitary thought that, starting from the knowledge of the classical world, helps the critical re-elaboration of the present is particularly relevant in the face of the complex challenges of the future.
Classical studies therefore provide the transversal skills needed to face the challenges of contemporary society, providing students with the tools for qualified and conscious access to university studies, both in the humanities and sciences, and for the progressive transition to work and social commitment.
