School Profile and International Cooperation Opportunities

The Galileo Galilei Scientific Lyceum is a state secondary school located in Perugia, a historic city of Etruscan origins in the heart of Italy, within easy reach of Florence and Rome.

Perugia is renowned for its rich artistic and cultural heritage, as well as its vibrant academic environment, shaped by the University of Perugia and the University for Foreigners. This unique setting offers our students valuable opportunities for intercultural exchange and learning beyond the classroom.

Our school welcomes approximately 1,400 students aged 14 to 19, organised into 55 classes, and employs around 118 teachers.

The school is situated in a beautiful green park, just a short distance from the historic city centre. This location combines a peaceful learning environment with easy access to some of Perugia's most important cultural institutions, including the National Gallery of Umbria, the National Archaeological Museum, the Augusta Library and the Historical Archive.

We regularly collaborate with these institutions to organise educational activities, workshops and learning experiences outside the classroom.

The Lyceum is an inclusive school for non-native speakers and open to the internationalisation programs. An increasing number of students from all over the world are hosted by us for short or long term mobility and we have hosted students from US, Canada, England, French, India providing for each of them a personal training program. We believe that our  students must become citizens of Europe and of the “Earth”. 

We accept incoming students for long and short term mobility and we are able to provide in and out-door activities. Depending on the class where the foreign student is inserted, they would be able to take part in some of our international courses:
