Liceo Lanza-Perugini is a state upper secondary school in Foggia, created in 2012 by merging the Vincenzo Lanza classical liceo, founded in 1868, and the Perugini arts liceo, which grew out of the city's art institute; the classical liceo has a branch in Ascoli Satriano. About 980 students attend in 53 classes. The classical liceo offers a traditional track, an economics and law track, a biomedical track with data science and artificial intelligence, and a Cambridge International track: since 2017 the school has been the only Cambridge International School in the province of Foggia, and senior students prepare for the IGCSE Global Perspectives exam. The arts liceo offers architecture and environment, fine arts, design and graphic design. Lessons are in Italian.

About the fees State school (scuola statale): tuition is free. The school pages read contain no information on contributions or an extra fee for the Cambridge course.
Admissions Admission to year 1 follows the state online procedure through Unica (SPID, CIE, CNS or eIDAS); for 2026-2027 it ran from 13 January to 14 February, and the office helps families at both buildings during opening hours. The school pages read do not describe admission to the Cambridge track.

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.
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.

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.
