This is a standard Certificate of graduation from an Italian high school stating the the diploma as ***specializzazione Liceo Scientifico Ordinamento***. Greater context shown below.
Not sure what the term Ordinamento as part of the specialization means. The entire sentence reads like this:
... che l'alunno xxx, ha sostenuto presso questo istituto, nell'anno scolastico xxx, gli esami di stato e, per effetto dello scrutinio finale, AMESSO AGLI ESAMI, conseguendo il diploma di SCIENTIFICO, specializzazione ***LICEO SCIENTIFICO ORDINAMENTO*** riportando la seguente votazione:
Any idea what the (EE) means? or the use of Ordinamento as part of the specialization/focus?
Here's what I have so far:
that the student xxx ,, took the state exams at this School during the 2011/2012 school year and, based on the results of his final examinations, was AWARDED a high school diploma in SCIENTIFIC STUDIES, specialization in SCIENTIFIC STUDIES HIGH SCHOOL ORDINAMENTO, with the following marks:
Any help would be appreciated.

Specialisation in core science (Secondary/upper school level)
Following discussion box talk, I think that "ordinamento" is really just referring to the general main core of science as an education. Such as basic biology, chemistry, physics etc. As per article below
"Why study the core sciences?"
http://ezinearticles.com/?Why-Study-the-Core-Sciences?&id=39...
This term can be used to describe the basic/traditional subjects, and "CORE classes/courses/program/etc" is a word I have often come across (both on the net and in personal experience) to explain educational pathways.

In bureaucratic documentation, Italians often jump an article (i.e., "causa malattia", ecc).
It should be "Liceo Scientifico d'Ordinamento", a.k.a. Liceo Scientifico Ordinario. "Ordinario", here, means regular/standard, of course, not "average" :)
Google it and most probably you'd see tonnes of hits on the subject.

the closest you can come to that "d'Ordinamento" – idiomatically, that is – would be the term "Comprehensive" in GB. But even that – an approximation.

"traditional", given to you by Giulia, will not do:
1. All her references are in Italian and refer to descriptive sentences – not bureaucratic certificates.
2. Appunto: "traditional" as a description of an institution just has no place in the vocabulary used in certificates – either in Italian or in English. In Italian they use either "ordinario/d'ordinamento" or "normale" (i.e., "di Pisa" ...)

'Traditional-Curriculum Science Baccalaureate' maybe, or something along those lines?
Also, although the term may need Nuovo/vecchio strictly speaking, I did find this link "LICEO SCIENTIFICO DI ORDINAMENTO" http://www.scuolerivarolocanavese.it/moro/Lists/LICEO SCIENT...
'conseguendo il diploma di liceo scientifico, specializzazione liceo scientifico (nuovo/vecchio)ordinamento' would be slightly more understandable.
See for instance, www.iisprimolevi.it/Specializ_Liceo_Scientifico_Tecnologico...
There is a number of KudoZ containing the word 'ordinamento', although mostly related to university curricula. Here's one,
