Liceo linguistico (; literally "linguistic lyceum") is a type of secondary school in Italy. It is designed to give students the skills to progress to any university or higher educational institution. Students can attend the liceo linguistico after successfully completing middle school (scuola media). The curriculum is devised by the Ministry of Education, and emphasises the link between multiculturalism and language learning. It covers a complete and widespread range of disciplines. Students typically study for five years, and attend the school from the age of 14 to 19. At the end of the fifth year all students sit for the esame di Stato, a final examination which gives access to every university course. A student attending a liceo is called liceale, although the more generic terms studente (male) and studentessa (female) are also in common use. Teachers are known as professore (male) or professoressa (female). Subjects During five years, students learn three foreign languages (including English) and acquire a rich humanistic and scientific culture. At the end of the final year, the language proficiency of students is minimum B2. This is the weekly schedule of liceo linguistico in 5 years: History With the D.M.
