 Liceo Scientifico «G. B. Grassi» was born as a
state-school in 1943
 The history of our school has always been
characterised by innovation and didactic research,
which have led us to develop innovative curricola
while at the same time keeping in touch with the
needs and requirements of our geographical area
 in 2010-2011 we implemented a new Liceo
Scientifico course and a new Applied Sciences
course
 in 2011-2012 a Liceo Musicale section specialising
in the study of music was added

skills and competences they need
to understand and interpret reality and
to develop a rational, creative and critical
approach to problems, situations and natural
phenomena

6. The liceo musicale path promotes the study of
the role of music in history and culture and the
acquisition of technical-practical music skills.
It gives the students the competences they need
to employ the language of music in the fields of
composition, interpretation, execution.
The approach is both theoretical and practical.
