The European School of Varese provides children with education from Nursery, Primary to Secondary cycle in a multicultural and multilingual environment.

Teaching is organized in language sections.

There is the possibility of mother tongue tuition for those pupils who have a mother tongue which is not taught in the five existing language sections, on condition that it is an official language of the European Union. 
All teachers are native speakers and are inspected by national Inspectors on a regular basis.

The first foreign language (L2: DE – EN – FR) ) is taught from the first year of primary school and from S3 of secondary school becomes the language of instruction of humanities, religion / Moral and from S4 of history and geography (and economics, if chosen).

The second foreign language (L3) ) is studied from S1. The choice can be made among all the official languages of the European Union. The opening of a course depends on the minimum number of interested pupils (7 pupils).

It is also possible to study a third language (L4) from S4. Here too, the choice can be made among all the official languages of the European Union depending on the number of interested students.
