Cambridge International recognition for Alba International School
Date of the event:
On 9 November 2026 Alba International School, located at corso Europa 152 in Alba, received Cambridge International School recognition for primary school and for lower and upper secondary school, becoming the first school in the Province of Cuneo to reach this milestone [1].
The announcement
The recognition was celebrated at the school's premises during an institutional meeting bringing together representatives of the education sector, institutional figures and those who had worked towards the school's achievement [1].
The school's history
The school was founded in 2017 from an idea by its founder and head teacher, Silvana Carbone, who created a primary and lower secondary school with a bilingual identity, in which English is conceived not only as a subject of study but as an everyday tool for learning and communication [1]. Over the years the State-recognised International Liceo Linguistico was added to the range of courses, allowing students to continue their studies at the school until the end of upper secondary education [1]. The first two years of the liceo follow the Cambridge IGCSE programme, which integrates the Italian curriculum with international content and methods [1].
The road to recognition
The Cambridge International recognition comes at the end of a process of gradually integrating Cambridge methods, programmes and materials into the school's teaching, which today accompanies students from Primary School through to Upper Secondary [1]. Head teacher Silvana Carbone described the educational project launched in 2017 as aimed at introducing teaching innovation and new technologies, with the goal of bringing children closer to different cultures and educating them in openness and engagement with others [1].
