Liceo Classico Statale Giulio Perticari is a state lyceum in Senigallia (province of Ancona), founded by royal decree in November 1860 and opened in December 1861; the school describes itself as the oldest state liceo-ginnasio in the Marche region. Today it has three lyceums: classical (liceo classico) on Viale Rossini, human sciences (liceo delle scienze umane) and economic and social (liceo economico sociale) on Via d'Aquino. The five-year course follows the Italian national curriculum in Italian and ends with the esame di Stato. Since September 2024 there is an international Liceo Classico Cambridge track: English as a Second Language, mathematics, Latin and biology are taught in English on Cambridge IGCSE syllabuses with native-speaker teachers, with exams in years 3-4 and no later than the autumn of year 5. The website also describes a Cambridge track with Global Perspectives and English as a Second Language at IGCSE level in years 1-4. According to the school, it has 949 students in 40 classes.

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.
