Scuole Vittoria Torino is a private paritaria school in central Torino for children aged 3 to 18. Its history begins with the Liceo Linguistico Vittoria, founded by Marcella Margaria Bodo in 1975; it has been paritaria since 2000, and the junior school Vittoria Junior opened in 2018. Today there are two buildings: Vittoria Junior - bilingual early years, primary and lower secondary, where humanities are taught in Italian following the national curriculum and mathematics, science and technology in English following Cambridge programmes; and Licei Vittoria - the Italian Liceo Linguistico Europeo (5 or 4 years) and the English-language Upper Secondary International School, where students take the full set of IGCSEs over two years (the ICE certificate) and then two years of the IB Diploma Programme. In the international upper school all subjects are taught in English, with only Italian literature in Italian. In 2024/25 the school had 676 students, and it states a ratio of 8 students per teacher.

About the fees The school does not publish tuition fees on its website. Morning care from 7:30 at Vittoria Junior is included in the fee; after-school sports, after-school care and lunches are arranged separately.
Admissions Entry tests for the upper schools are held in January, in time for the state pre-enrolment deadline; transfer students can sit summer sessions if places remain; the test is free. In the international upper school the test is binding: the two-year ICE course requires at least B1 English (students from the Vittoria Junior middle school have priority and are exempt), the IB Diploma Programme at least B2, plus written tests in Italian, in mathematics for the science track, in French or Spanish for the language track and in analytical skills for the humanities track; moving from ICE to the IB requires ICE with merit (C or above in five subjects), Italian of at least 6 out of 10 and 66 hours of sport. The four-year liceo requires at least A2 English and the test is for guidance; for the five-year liceo the test is not selective. Students without Italian take an Italian as a second language test (minimum A2), and absolute beginners are placed in ab initio courses. The school also admits foreign students: it offers Italian as a second language in the junior school and the upper schools, and describes its programme as open to both native Italian speakers and foreigners.
Stages and year groups Vittoria Junior: scuola dell'infanzia (three age groups, Italian and English alternating, Jolly Phonics; the final year prepares for Cambridge Primary); paritaria scuola primaria with a 40-hour full day - Italian, history, geography, art and citizenship following the national curriculum in Italian, mathematics, science, technology and English following Cambridge Primary in English, with Cambridge Primary Progression Tests every year and the Cambridge Primary Checkpoint at the end; paritaria scuola media - Cambridge Lower Secondary (Mathematics, Science, ICT, Global Perspectives) in English and the national curriculum for humanities, ending with the licenza media and the Cambridge Lower Secondary diploma. Licei Vittoria: the paritaria 5-year Liceo Linguistico Europeo (modern languages, law and economics, and arts and literature tracks, maturità linguistica) and the experimental four-year Liceo Quadriennale Linguistico Internazionale (since 2018-2019, bilingual, with IGCSE English as a Second Language, International Mathematics and from 2026-2027 Global Perspectives at the end of year two, then the maturità or a move to the IB). Upper Secondary International School: grades 9-10 - Cambridge ICE, 7 IGCSE subjects (English, French or Spanish, history, geography, mathematics, science, Global Perspectives) plus compulsory Italian; grades 11-12 - IB Diploma Programme with language, science and humanities tracks, recognised as equivalent to the Italian maturità. Individual IGCSE exams in French and Spanish are also available to students of the Italian liceo.

IBInternational Baccalaureate
A Swiss non-profit, working since 1968. Its programmes are among the most widely recognised school programmes in the world. Authorisation is granted stage by stage, so a school with the final stage does not necessarily run the younger ones; which stages this school holds is set out in the line below.
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: DP (ages 16-19). DP is the final stage, ages 16 to 19: six subjects plus a compulsory core of theory of knowledge, an extended essay and CAS. The diploma is accepted by universities all over the world, and in a number of countries it counts for admission on the same footing as the local leaving certificate.

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: Primary (ages 5-11), Lower Secondary (ages 11-14), IGCSE (ages 14-16). Primary is the primary stage, ages 5 to 11: English, mathematics and science to Cambridge syllabuses. At the end of the stage a school may run the optional Checkpoint test, which is marked in Cambridge. Lower Secondary is the middle stage, ages 11 to 14, with the same optional Checkpoint test at the end. 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 7 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.
