The socio-economic and cultural contest

Notwithstanding its homogenity from a methodological and didactic point of view the Liceo Scientifico Statale 'Caminiti', headed by Mr Santo Giovanni Torrisi, is characterized by a complex articolation and by a peculiar social and territorial background.

With its main school in Santa Teresa di Riva and two coordinated schools in Giardini Naxos (20 km from S. Teresa) and Francavilla di Sicilia (40 km), it has to take into account the heterogeneity of motivations and interests due to thedifferent territorial positions of its three schools and to their different socio-economic background.
In fact the Liceo offers its services to a very large and varied territory stretching from Messina Sud to Giardini Naxos, its hinterland included, and containing areas which have different cultural, economic and environmental peculiarities (Agrņ Valley , Jonian Coast , Alcantara Valley )

Broadly speaking we can say that a mixed economy prevails on the Jonian coast (S.Teresa), tourism is the main economic resource in the area around Taormina (Giardini Naxos), while agriculture and craftsmanship are the main activities in the Alcantara Valley.
