I.S.I.S.S. "Amaldi-Nevio" is a state institute uniting two licei in Santa Maria Capua Vetere under one head. Liceo Amaldi opened in the 1970-1971 school year and became independent in 1975-1976; the Liceo classico Cneo Nevio dates back to 1865 and occupies a historic building on Piazza Bovio. Tracks: liceo scientifico (with biomedical, environmental and sports options, applied sciences and the Liceo Scientifico Internazionale Cambridge), liceo classico (with the Liceo Classico Internazionale Cambridge and a four-year legal track), liceo linguistico (traditional and EsaBac with the dual Italian-French diploma), liceo delle scienze umane with the economic-social option and a social-health focus. In the Cambridge classical track a two-year course prepares students for Cambridge IGCSE exams in Mathematics, Geography and English as a Second Language, which are optional. The main language of instruction is Italian. The school has about 1460 students in 68 classes.

About the fees State school (scuola statale): there is no tuition fee and enrolment follows the state procedure. No charge for the Cambridge course or IGCSE exams appears on the pages read or in the PTOF.
Admissions Entry to year 1 is through the state iscrizioni online procedure (the website links to the ministry portal). The pages read do not describe a separate selection for the Cambridge or EsaBac classes. Students in the Cambridge classical track may take the Cambridge IGCSE exams by choice; they are not compulsory. The PTOF aims at the inclusion of students with special needs and foreign students, but the website does not state admission conditions for foreigners directly.
Stages and year groups 68 classes. Five-year liceo ending with the esame di Stato; there is also a four-year legal track of the liceo classico. Liceo Classico Internazionale Cambridge (Nevio site): a two-year course, Cambridge IGCSE in Mathematics, Geography and English as a Second Language; in mathematics and geography one hour a week is co-taught by the teacher and a native speaker, English as a Second Language is 2 hours a week with a native speaker on top of the curriculum; before the June exams there are 10 extra sessions of 2 hours. IGCSE exams are optional. Liceo Scientifico Internazionale Cambridge: English is taught only by a native speaker (3 hours plus 2 hours a week), history and geography and natural sciences in years 1-2 include one hour with a native English speaker; the website does not name specific Cambridge exams for this track. Liceo Linguistico EsaBac: in years 3-5 French language and literature 4 hours and history in French 2 hours a week, dual diploma esame di Stato and baccalauréat. AS and A Level are not offered.
Accreditations and programmes verified against official registries
Cambridge · IGCSE · authorised programmeThe Cambridge register names the school as its centre; it teaches Cambridge IGCSE. The Cambridge International classical liceo runs a two-year IGCSE course in Mathematics, Geography and ESL with a native-speaker teacher; sitting the exams is optional.

CambridgeCambridge International Education
Part of the University of Cambridge. It allows a school to teach the Cambridge programmes and to enter pupils for the exams. There are four stages and they are authorised separately: primary, lower secondary, IGCSE and A Level. If the stages are known they are named in the line below; if that line is missing, the school does not publish them, and the Cambridge registry does not show stages either - it gives only the name of the centre, the country and whether private candidates are accepted. Cambridge calls what it does registration rather than accreditation, and the network holds about ten thousand schools.
What the badge means for this school. The school is allowed to run this programme and to award its certificate. This is a confirmation of the programme, not a judgement on the school as a whole. The entry stands in the organisation's public register - anyone can check it. At this school: IGCSE (ages 14-16). IGCSE means exams at around Year 10 or 11, the British counterpart of a lower secondary leaving certificate.
Register to check for yourself, and the full guide →National programme
The state school programme of the country the school stands in: it is set by that country's ministry of education, which also licenses the school and awards the leaving certificate. That certificate is used for entry to local universities, and abroad it is matched to the local one.
What this means for this school. This entry does not count towards the score, and that is deliberate. Every lawful school in a country works to the national programme, so on its own it tells one school apart from no other - unlike the French, German or Russian programmes, which are carried abroad and confirmed by the register of their organisation. We show it because a parent needs to know what programme their child is taught and what certificate the child will get. Counting it would lift the whole ranking at once and still tell nobody apart.

Reviews
No reviews yet. The community rating counts towards the score once a school has five verified reviews - until then we do not show a zero, so as not to mislead.

A low score here means the school does not write about this, not that the school does not have it: a school with good security and a sparse site will score low. A school can fill in its profile, and the score will be counted again.
The score is counted from 8 of the 9 criteria.Only those with checkable data count: programmes and accreditations from official registers, the fee from a published price list. Where it says "scored on the median", the school has no data and the middle of the list is put in its place, so that a gap gives no advantage. Admissions, teaching staff and reviews come in as their data arrives.
