Southern High School Orientation Week

Starting Monday, Sept. 1, 2025 at 4 p.m. and continuing through Sept. 5 at SS Marcellinus and Festus Church is Southern High School Orientation Week.

Five thematic days of study and community life for the best 150 students from all over Italy enrolled in the last year of secondary schools who responded to the public selection notice. An opportunity to experience for free in the field the method, rhythms and opportunities of study in a reality such as SSM, an institution of higher education with a special order. This year's theme. " The Power of Error" : "From error in the experimental measurements of physics, which represents the margin of uncertainty inseparable from any observation, to the subjunctive and separative errors of philology, which help bring order to the life of literary works over time, the concept of error constitutes in all fields of knowledge a fundamental operational criterion.

Free one-week orientation: 5 thematic days (limited number), in residence, including meetings, lectures and seminars, guided tours at centers of excellence and archaeological sites to reason around this apparent paradox that error is a source of knowledge. An itinerary designed specifically for students who are about to make their university choices and who, accompanied by SSM faculty, women and men of science, scholars and scholars of history, law and economics, philology and literature, physics and chemistry, mathematics and medicine, experts specialized in humanistic and scientific knowledge, will be able to better sift through the choice of their future studies taking into account their own inclinations but also the issues that animate today's world and the questions that move society.

The Meridionale High School is the only special-order high school in the South. It is among the few that provide an educational offering extended to pre-doctoral activities as well, providing courses for ordinary students that complement the university offerings of the bachelor's degree, master's degree and single-cycle master's degree.
