WELCOME TO…G. BAGATTA HIGH SCHOOL!!!
AND WELCOME TO…DESENZANO!!!
Our town faces the Southern coast of lake Garda, that is
famous all over the world among
sailors and windsurfers and
every year attracts lots of tourists with its
beautiful landscapes.
Desenzano has origins that date back to the Roman times, but it developed during the Middle Ages. Today you can visit the
ancient Roman villa, famous for its beautiful mosaics,
and the medieval castle that overlooks the town centre.
Nowadays Desenzano has a population of 28000 inhabitants and, during the summer, it rises to 40000, including tourists. The G. Bagatta high school has a privileged position in the historical centre of Desenzano.
Our school is one of the most ancient schools in Italy. It was founded as a gymnasium in 1792, when an assembly of the heads of the mostimportant families
decided to create
a structure around the
most learned people in Desenzano
in order to spread culture and progress in the "new generation".
The headmaster was don Girolamo Bagatta, who improved our school adding a boarding
school and, three years later, the lyceum forms.
In 1816 emperor Francis I upgraded our school to the
level of the royal senior high schools in the Asburgic
empire. In the following years the royal high school in
Desenzano became more and more important and the Italian poet Giosuè Carducci
choose to take part to the national exam as evaluator in
our school for four years.
In the 1990s our school grew up with two new sections: the
scientific section and the
languages section.
Finally in 2003 the human
sciences section was added.
Nowadays in the school there are 46 classes and 1007 students. When you enter our
school you can choose in what
section you want to study, among
our four sections
SCIENTIFIC SECTION
This section looks back to the past, with the study of ancient Greek and Latin
languages and Literature
CLASSIC SECTION
Principal Subjects: Italian, Greek, Latin,
English, History, Philosophy, Art History.
LANGUAGES SECTION
Prepares you to have international relationships by studying foreign languages like English, German
and French.
HUMAN SCIENCES SECTION
It gives a humanistic education through the study
of social sciences.
Principal subjects: Spanish, Law and Economy, Human Sciences, Social Sciences,
Philosophy.
Besides the compulsory subjects our school has created several
optional projects in order to promote the school also as a place in which you
can meet and improve your culture from a wider point of view.
For those who are interested in learning foreign languages such as English, Spanish, German and French there is the opportunity to attend our workshops held by mother tongue teachers at different levels.
The students who like Maths and Symbolic Logic can
enrol in a tournament called Maths Olympic Games
in which participants have to face problems that
differ from the ones we usually find in our Maths
programmes.
An important activity of our school is the classic theatre workshop in which every year we rewrite and adapt a classic piece for the stage. A Literature teacher coordinates this project with the assistance of a professional director. A classic piece is studied in order to write a modern script and design a screenplay that will be staged.
As far as sports are concerned we usually compete with athletes from other schools. Liceo G. Bagatta offers its students a wide choice of activities such as championships among neighbouring schools. Our school organizes football, volleyball and basketball matches, athletics, ski and cross country, swimming contests and it is in close contacts with various state institutions.
A group of our schoolmates regularly participates in sailing competitions. The most recent one was the famous non competitive
regatta called “Veleggiata sul Canal Grande” in Venice.
Our school has a Chemistry lab, a multimedia
languages lab, two inner gyms, an open air
basketball field and a library
We are connected to a European schools' network, with which our institution organizes cultural exchanges for the different sections: this is a very good way todevelop the European's sense of belonging.
Our town is twinned with some European cities including Freising-Monaco, Wiener Neustadt,
Amberg and Antibes
In our school the class register and the teachers' register are electronic and online.
In this way our families are able to control our
attendances, our marks and immediately know what is
going on in each hour.
