The way to world-class universities
The two-year Diploma Programme is the natural progression of the IB continuum and gives students access to top universities in Italy (through diploma recognition) and all over the world.

The Extended Essay is an independent piece of research leading to a 4000-word paper, enabling students to acquire essential skills for university research and writing.
CAS enables students to enhance their personal development through experiential learning and to undertake new challenges inside or outside the school.

students must carry out independently and submit by the end of the program; the Theory of Knowledge (gnoseology) asks students to delve deeper into the nature of knowledge, how the human brain categorizes knowledge and how it is passed on to others; Creativity, Activity, Service activities give students the chance to develop their interpersonal skills through extracurricular experiences, thus creating an opportunity for personal fulfillment and achievement.

Alla fine della classe MYP3 (terza media), la nostra scuola offre a tutti gli studenti la possibilità di essere preparati per svolgere gli esami di terza media come candidati esterni, per ottenere la licenza di scuola secondaria di primo grado.
La scelta di affrontare gli esami nella scuola pubblica non è né obbligatoria né necessaria, dal momento che gli studenti otterranno un diploma equipollente a quello italiano se decideranno di finire il percorso all’interno dell’IB.
Dal 2016 al 2023, tutti gli studenti di H-FARM International School hanno superato l’esame, con un voto medio superiore alla media nazionale: 8,4 voto medio, contro lo 7,2.
Dall’anno MYP1 (6° grado-primo anno di scuola secondaria di primo grado/prima media) all’MYP3 è necessario sostenere un test d’ingresso per potersi iscrivere ad H-FARM International School.
Tuttavia gli studenti possono essere affiancati durante l’anno da un servizio aggiuntivo di language support.
