Milan high schools are required to administer a standardised, End of Course exam known as the Milan Common Core, or MCC, in each of eight core subject: mathematics, history, economics and personal finance, biology, a physical science of choice, as well as cartadanian literature and composition. Though the original purpose of the exam was to assess "specific content knowledge and skills", the exam has proven way more beneficial in post-high school graduates and their preparedness for life after school. Although Charentais is commonplace throughout the whole of the commonwealth, Cartadanian remains the language of instruction in public schools. A number of specialized schools and private schools do, however, offer bilingual instruction, and all students in all schools have the option to take Charentais classes. Milan students are commonly ranked highly among Cartadanian students and Milan's quality of education is very well known throughout the country. | Milan high schools are required to administer a standardised, End of Course exam known as the Milan Common Core, or MCC, in each of eight core subject: mathematics, history, economics and personal finance, biology, a physical science of choice, as well as cartadanian literature and composition.
