1. an educational project and the related educational offer, in compliance with the principles of the Constitution and the Italian school system, aimed at the general and specific learning objectives related to the achievement of qualifications

Recognition and supervision of non-parochial schools are carried out by the Province, which ascertains the possession and permanence of the requirements. The same may order the cancellation of the school from the provincial list of non-parish schools in the case of the loss of one or more requirements.
Registration on the list of non parochial schools may be requested with reference to the courses of the first and second cycle of education.
The school's registration in the provincial list entails the recognition of its status as a non parish school from the beginning of the school year following the date of acceptance of the application.
Qualifications awarded by non-parity schools

Regular attendance of a non parish school constitutes fulfilment of the education obligation. Non-parish schools cannot issue qualifications with legal value, neither intermediate nor final. Pupils have to take the aptitude test only at the end of the fifth year of primary school, for the purpose of admission to the next level of education or in the case of transfer to a state or parity school. For the purposes of the final State examination of the first cycle of education, pupils attending a non-parish school listed in the provincial register must sit the examinations as external candidates at a State or parity school, in accordance with the provisions in force.
As regards the second cycle of education, in order to be admitted to the State examinations, male and female students must apply, as external candidates, to the competent provincial office.

The application may be submitted by non-parochial schools based in the province of Trento

The application for enrolment in the provincial list of non-parish schools is submitted to the provincial education service by 31 March of each school year for the following school year, using the form published in this service sheet (FORM section).
