We are a full IB school. We offer the IB Primary Years Programme, the Middle Years Programme and the IB Diploma.
We are not a “Scuola Paritaria”; however, we offer a preparation programme for Italian students with language fluency that allows them to sit the Quinta Elementare and Terza Media exams (Italian school examinations). Exam entrance costs are included in tuition fees. The Italian government fully recognises the IB Diploma, and many students transfer from the Italian education system to the IB programmes.
To determine the appropriate grade of entry for new students, children are classified into groups depending on their age. The birthday cut-off dates are from 1st September - 31st August. This class placement system is used by British and US schools. See the table below for clarification.

It is in students' best interests to follow this policy as it ensures children are placed in a class that enhances their academic and social development. Adhering to our grade placement system also ensures children gain the social-emotional benefits of being in a homogeneous, age-appropriate group.
Moreover, our educational programme is far more advanced than other national curriculum systems and offers in-depth coverage of subjects; therefore, a student placed a year ahead may face a significant academic disadvantage. Parents should also be aware that many universities only accept students aged 18 and above.
