Alba International School
Alba International School is a school located at corso Europa 152 in Alba, in the Province of Cuneo. It comprises a primary school, a lower secondary school and a State-recognised international liceo linguistico (language-focused upper secondary school), with a bilingual Italian-English teaching approach.[1]
History
The school was founded in 2017 on the initiative of its founder and head teacher, Silvana Carbone, who launched a primary and lower secondary school project with a strong bilingual identity, in which English is conceived as an everyday tool for learning and communication as well as a subject of study.[1]
Over the years the range of courses has expanded with the establishment of the State-recognised International Liceo Linguistico, which allows students to continue their schooling at the same institute until the end of upper secondary education. The first two years of the liceo follow the Cambridge IGCSE programme, which integrates the Italian curriculum with international-standard content and methods.[1]
Cambridge International recognition
On 9 November 2026 Alba International School officially joined the network of Cambridge International Schools, becoming the first school in the Province of Cuneo to receive this recognition for primary school and for lower and upper secondary school. The announcement was made at the school's premises, at corso Europa 152, during a meeting attended by representatives of the education sector and local institutions.[1]
The recognition is the result of a process of gradually integrating Cambridge methods, programmes and teaching materials into the school's work, begun in previous years as a development of the educational project launched in 2017.[1]
