The Istituto Tecnico Statale « Vincenzo Arangio Ruiz » is situated in EUR, a modern quarter in the south-western part of Rome. EUR is the acronym for “Esposizione Universale Roma”, which was planned for 1942 and never took place because of the war.

The big and comfortable school building dates back to the Seventies and has always been the seat of the Arangio Ruiz Institute. Our school has a long tradition in experimenting new education curricula; its
· 1300 students (about 55% are girls) between 14 and 19 years
· 120 teachers
· about 30 people in the administrative staff
· 3 different curricular specialities (high school for future accountants, for future computer programmers, grammar school for modern languages)
· a network of over 100 computers distributed in 6 labs with internet access
· an audio-active-comparative language lab
· 2 gyms and a large sport ground
· afternoon courses for the European Languages Certifications and for the European Computer Driving Licence
make up its everyday eventful life.

Several European education projects:
· “Leonardo-Project” with Portugal
· Comenius Project “Nation, Nationalism, National Proud” with Denmark, France and Germany
· Comenius Project “Young people today in Europe” with Austria, Italy (Florence) and Germany
· Comenius Project “ Borrowed World” with Bulgaria, Rumania and Germany
· Comenius Language Project “Cross-culture raids” with Hungary

bear witness of the great interest in European school partnerships. Four modern languages are taught at our school: English, German and Spanish. The students of the grammar school for languages also have Latin classes. Many students have already decided to take their European Language Certification exams. A few future computer programmers have also chosen to attend free German classes in the afternoon, in order to add a second modern language to the curricular English course.
