Community

Building on its history spanning several centuries, Collegio San Carlo’s aim is to educate young people and cultivate their talents and aptitudes by offering them a model of excellence. By involving students in an active, open, democratic community, the College aims to foster their personal development, sense of social responsibility and civic awareness. The College strives to equip students with the values, knowledge and skills they need to channel their academic success into building rewarding professional lives informed by moral principles.

The aim of selecting the highest-achieving and most motivated candidates is to create a virtuous circle among residents, who work together to create a continuous learning community. The activities made available to residents are designed to stimulate their communication skills, their sense of initiative, their critical thinking and their openness to international horizons.

Qualified staff with up-to-date knowledge provide students with appropriate support from the time of their admission, with a view to helping them build a mature, responsible relationship with society. This is combined with training courses designed to encourage them to cultivate their curiosity, their thirst for learning and their desire to take on new challenges. The experience of living and learning together on a daily basis, meanwhile, gives them the opportunity to broaden their horizons and come into personal contact with different ways of seeing the world.

By fostering cross-cutting skills, the College aims not only to boost the prospects of the highest academic achievers, but also and above all to develop aptitudes that will enhance their awareness in the face of the challenges posed by the work arena, citizenship and their future social life in general.
