INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL OF TALENTS Gentium Schola Opitergium ? International School of Talents is born out of Giordano Casonato and Serena Barbieri?s experience as teachers and school directors with the aim of putting young people on the path to making positive choices for their futures. Giordano Casonato, former headmaster of the Pio X College in Treviso, is President of the GIF, a company committed to creating a bridge bet ween school and t he working world. Their vision, in line with the Murialdo Congregation and Brandolini Rota Institute?s values, which has been providing educational excellence since 1889, has led to a productive collaboration, including hosting the GSO community within Brandolini?s campus. GSO is an independent division, secular and autonomous, offering its own distinct international education programme. The school has the legal status of an innovative, social-oriented non-profit organisation, founded on a progressive pedagogical model of learning. Each individual student is at the heart of our education, just as a student is at the very centre of international programme pedagogy. Our Mission stresses discovery, development, expansion and sharing of personal talents. www.gifonline.com www.real-languages.it
