The school’s mission is to provide a unique environment where students experience growth academically, socially and culturally.
The elementary school building is a 14th-century palace in three floors in stone and brick on Via Cavour. It was a family home in the 14th century and later served as the Canadian headquarters for troops during the Second World War. CCI Boys live on the top floor of the school building on Via Cavour, while the girls live in the city’s oldest inn, the Antica Locanda Allegria.
The Ministry of Education of Ontario, Canada inspects the school and students are awarded points for the Ontario Secondary School Diploma.

They learn subjects such as mathematics, classical civilization, chemistry, physics, biology, social science, English, art and drama.

Lanciano’s over 3,300-year history provides a rich background for the student housing and main school building, making it a unique and historic learning environment.
