ISIS "Isaac Newton" -  VARESE - Tecnical and Professional Training - ITIS - IPSIA


The ISIS of VARESE was born during the school year 2007/2008 as a “Polyvalent Institution”  for Education,  Technical  and Professional Training. It is the result of the unification of ITIS and IPSIA of VARESE.

Although the most important features which characterize the two schools remain unchanged, the ISIS  has only one management and an individual presence in our territory concerning the educational field.

Our challenge is to establish only one meaningful education training, together with more specialized opportunities  for a public secondary school : TECHNICAL, PROFESSIONAL and  ADULT EDUCATION.


History  IPSIA

 

History ITIS

The IPSIA of Varese was born between 1960 and 1961, an it starts its activity in order to make courses for mechanic, electric and ceramics’ industry (sited apart in Laveno Mombello). In the 70s, after the experience in Laveno, the school was enriched by the introduction of a Chemical Course in cooperation with the Mazzuchelli Company in Olona.

Nowadays the world of work is looking for professional figures who should be able to adapt themselves to its changes and needs. That’s why all old courses have been replaced by  new itineraries completely new and renewed in both contents and aims. The didactic purpose of our institution becomes real with all new courses which give a primary qualification after the first three years of study, aiming to facilitate engagement for students, or with the post-qualification courses which are biennial that lead to the Final Degree. Professional Education is a very good link between school and the world of work.
 

During the 30s and the 40s the city of Varese was one of the most industrialized town of the territory, that’s why there was a grown of Professional School in order to train people for the world of work.

What was absolutely absent was instead the presence of Specializes Schools which should deal with a technical education for Industrial Experts who had to move to Milan to attend a Technical School. Because of the WWII in 1943, the Professional School “Leonardo da Vinci” in Varese was enriched with a section of the  ITIS Feltrinelli in Milan, to train Experts Mechanics and Electrics.  

It is in this circumstances that the project  of the Founders of Professional School develops, in order to offer more chances to students and give them more possibilities to find a job.

Together with the two specialized schools which came from the Feltrinelli of Milan, there was later on the addition of a Textile Section thanks to the great technical equipments of laboratories inside the school.
