I'm doing a research project on Venice, Italy and I've come to the educational section. I'm aware the schooling has beautiful architecture are most of the buildings have a history to them, but that seems to be the only information I can find on education in Venice. I want to know more. Are all or most of the schools in Venice prestigious? Are they private or public? Are they expensive? How is the general quality; are the teachers helpful? How early do parents register their children for classes and how many years are you in school for? (whether school year-wise or years-wise).

You are probably aware that VERY FEW people actually live in Venice itself these days, and the majority of them seem to be retired. I don't know this for a fact, but would therefore expect that there are few schools, and those probably operated by the Roman Catholic Church. When I was last in Venice, all of the school children I did see were in uniforms of private schools based in towns near Venice but not in Venice itself.

Schools in Venice are not different from the other italian schools. The more prestigious ones (i'm talking about university) are in Bologna, Roma Milano and of course, the "Normale" in Pisa. There are both private and public schools, but private ones are better! italian public school quality is not very high but we (i'm italian) learn more literature and history and less math than the english students. Children start school at six ("scuole elementari" for 5 years) than there are other 3 years (scuole medie) before arriving to the "scuole superiori" at 15. At 15 you have to decide what you want to do (there are different kind of school to prepare you for university or for a job). at 19 you start University. usually students prefers staying near home than chooseing an other city like americans do.
