Liceo Classico "V. Alfieri" Torino Reviews

old school classical, notional, and obtuse, without pedagogical preparation. Obsolete

Liceo located near Corso Massimo d'Azeglio, the area is quiet during the day (a little less in the evening though). It is an absolutely demanding school, so anyone who is about to start it must take into account many aspects: study nights, fatigue, anxiety and so on. However, "no pain no gain" as the British would say: at the end of the path you are not dissatisfied, indeed, because it is an "investment" path that tempers you and makes you mature. It leaves a lot from a cultural point of view, but even more from a "spiritual" point of view. If you are an intellectually curious person, even willing to make sacrifices, then this is the school for you. If you want to do the bare minimum (legitimate, why not), it is not a recommended route; ditto if you feel like choosing it because it is pushed by your parents (to be avoided absolutely!) or for mere luster. Personally I have always found very good teachers, willing to help the students; each with their own character, but with a strong passion for their work at the base. If you commit yourself, even if you are not a genius / Pico della Mirandola, you can still do it. Regarding the "social" environment, I would say that it is quite calm; I have never heard of bullying or "weird things". Everyone can choose whether or not to participate in the life of the school, for example by writing for the newspaper or running workshops during self-management. In short, a school definitely to be taken into consideration among the possible choices!

Historically, one of the best classical high schools in Turin.

Experience to forget. I don't recommend it to anyone.

There are teachers who can turn off the enthusiasm for study instead of lighting the flame of knowledge.

Building of no particular beauty, however it has not yet come down so everything is fine.
