Colegio Juan XXIII


Colegio Juan XXIII is an Italian private & religious school in Maracay.

History

The Colegio Italo venezolano "Juan XXIII" was created in the early 1960s to meet the educational and catholic needs of the Italian community in Maracay. The initial courses of the Scuola Giovanni ventitre were in Italian language with some Spanish lessons, but after a few years all the courses were bilingual in Spanish and Italian.
In the late 1990s were added the first years of "Bachillerato", that was done mainly in Spanish but with some Italian lessons. Actually the "Colegio Juan XXIII" has nearly 700 students and all the courses are only in Spanish language. Italian is done as a foreign language mandatory in high school.
Students of this prestigious Maracay "Colegio" often participate in meetings and celebrations promoted by the Italian embassy and the Dante Alighieri association
