The Terzo Istituto Comprensivo di Nocera Inferiore is a state group of kindergartens, primary schools and a lower secondary school in Nocera Inferiore (province of Salerno) with a music track in lower secondary: instrumental tuition, ensemble and music theory under a programme established by a ministerial decree in 1999. Five plessi in four buildings near the town centre: two kindergartens, two primary schools and one lower secondary; 1187 students in 52 classes, an average of 22 per class. Since November 2019 the school has been authorised by Cambridge for the Cambridge Lower Secondary programme: lower secondary has Cambridge classes where English as a Second Language with a native teacher, Digital Literacy and Science in English are added to the Italian curriculum, and after three years students take the Cambridge English Preliminary exam. The school also publishes material on a Cambridge section in primary. Tuition is free; families pay for the Cambridge course.

About the fees Tuition at the state school is free. Families pay for the Cambridge course in lower secondary; the school mentions the course fee without an amount, and textbooks and the Cambridge English Preliminary exam are not included.
Admissions Enrolment in the state school is through the national Iscrizioni online system within the dates the Ministry announces each year (the circular usually comes out in November). For the first Cambridge class of lower secondary all candidates take a written and oral entry test in June, even if they hold an A2 certificate. The pages read say nothing about admitting foreign children.

Accreditations and programmes verified against official registries
Cambridge · Lower Secondary · authorised programmeThe Cambridge register names the school as its centre; it teaches Cambridge Lower Secondary. Cambridge classes in the middle school follow Cambridge Lower Secondary with English as a Second Language with a native teacher, Digital Literacy and Science in English, paid by families.

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: Lower Secondary (ages 11-14). Lower Secondary is the middle stage, ages 11 to 14, with the same optional Checkpoint test at the end.
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.
Exams and destinations from the school's official website
The school publishes nothing about where its leavers go: no share going on to university, no exam results, no list of universities.
Facilities
The school does not describe its premises on its website.
Teaching staff
The school publishes neither the number of its teachers nor their qualifications.
Safety and wellbeing from the school's official website
The school says nothing on its website about security, medical care or pupil support.
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.
