Scuola Media
Definition
Scuola Media refers to the middle school level of education in Italy, typically attended by students between the ages of 11 and 14. It is a mandatory educational stage that prepares students for higher levels of education.
Analogy
Think of Scuola Media as the "bridge" between elementary school and high school. Just like a bridge connects two different places, Scuola Media connects the foundational knowledge gained in elementary school with the more advanced concepts taught in high school.
