Istituto di Istruzione Superiore A.M. de' Liguori is a state upper secondary school in Sant'Agata de' Goti in the province of Benevento, operating since 1962. It grew out of a technical school for commerce and surveying, opened a liceo scientifico in 2004 and later a liceo classico and a liceo linguistico. Today eight tracks share one management: liceo scientifico (standard, applied sciences and Cambridge International), liceo classico, a four-year liceo linguistico with English, French and German, technical tracks in business, information systems, tourism, construction and IT and telecommunications, plus an evening course for adults. Since the 2019-2020 school year the liceo scientifico has run a separate Cambridge International class: English as a Second Language, Physics and Geography follow Cambridge IGCSE syllabuses in English with native-speaker teachers, and students can sit IGCSE exams by the end of year 4. Other subjects are taught in Italian, and the final qualification is the Italian maturità. In the 2026-2027 school year the school has 792 students in 47 classes.

About the fees Tuition at this state school is free. For the Cambridge International class families pay a compulsory 250 euro contribution on final enrolment; the school warns of a possible increase of no more than 50 euro and puts the amount at about 250-300 euro a year. IGCSE exam fees are paid by the family.
Admissions Year 1 admission is for students finishing scuola media through the national Iscrizioni online procedure. The Liceo Scientifico Cambridge International class takes at most 20 students; if oversubscribed, a ranking uses the average mark of year 2 of middle school, the English mark of the first term of year 3 and language certificates from A1 to B1; ties favour applicants who also chose the school's standard track, and the last place is drawn by lot. For foreign students and newly arrived pupils the school gives top priority to Italian as a second language and draws up an individual plan where needed. The evening course admits adult Italians and foreigners.
Stages and year groups 47 classes. Five-year tracks ending with the esame di Stato: liceo scientifico (standard, opzione scienze applicate and Cambridge International), liceo classico, a four-year liceo linguistico (English, French, German), istituto tecnico economico (amministrazione finanza e marketing, sistemi informativi aziendali, turismo), istituto tecnico tecnologico (costruzioni ambiente e territorio, day and evening; informatica e telecomunicazioni). Cambridge International is only in a separate liceo scientifico class: IGCSE English as a Second Language (0511), Physics (0625) and Geography (0460) in a bilingual programme; in years 1-2 English 3 hours (1 with a native speaker) plus 2 extra hours, Geography 3 hours (1 in English), in years 3-4 Physics 3 hours (1 in English); exams can be taken by the end of year 4, all or some. The school is an IGCSE and AS/A Level exam centre but describes no AS/A Level courses. The qualification is the Italian maturità scientifica.

Accreditations and programmes verified against official registries
Cambridge · IGCSE · authorised programmeThe Cambridge register names the school as its centre; it teaches Cambridge IGCSE. A separate Cambridge International class in the science liceo studies IGCSE English as a Second Language, Geography (years 1-2) and Physics (years 3-4), with exams by the end of year 4.

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.
