Opis organizacije

Our educational institution San Giovanni Bosco is placed in Molfetta, a town less than 20 km north from Bari. Since the town economy is based on fishing, agriculture, few business companies, the social background of our students is heterogeneous.There is a medium percentage of foreign and immigrant families which have been integrating. The identity of Istituto San Giovanni Bosco (Molfetta, Italy) is expressed in the three-year educational offer, PTOF, which plans for early years, primary, secondary school and defines the informative and educational proposal that we offer. The document covers the following areas: the principles and actions for the development of the students’ skills in their school subjects and as citizens; promotion of the students’ wellbeing and inclusion; development of innovation in teaching methods; promotion of the training of all the school’s personnel; curricular planning; collaboration with families and the local community; organizational planning and governance of the school. Our educational choices are aimed at carrying out what is mentioned in the National Guidelines for Pre-primary, primary and secondary school (Indicazioni nazionali per il curricolo, 2012), in accordance with the European objectives and the EU Programme 2020, which are developed through 8 key skills for effective learning: communication in the mother tongue, communication in foreign languages, mathematical skills and basic scientific and technological skills, digital skills, learning to learn, social and civic skills, spirit of initiative and entrepreneurship, cultural awareness and expressiveness.
