Early Years (Ages 2 to 5)

RIS is an international school, and its community includes families from many different countries speaking different languages. The school’s teaching language is English, and most of the books in our elementary library are in English. Nevertheless, the book collection reflects the international character of the community offering quite a wide number of books in other languages.

Books are generally categorised according to their genre (fiction, non-fiction, history, fantasy, adventure, etc.), but they are sometimes also classified according to their format, which often refers to the way pictures and text are used to tell the story.

The PYP is an exciting, dynamic curriculum with a strong international focus. It encourages students to be active inquirers and develop a wide range of skills, with a strong emphasis on collaborative learning. To help parents understand this program, RIS will be running a series of meetings.

Before the break, nursery pupils proudly presented their family with a special greeting cards to celebrate the start of Spring and the Holiday.

In commemoration of World Water Day, the students of MHS gathered for a special assembly where they unveiled a comprehensive three-year action plan aimed at ending single-use plastic on campus.

Rome International School celebrated Dante Day, a national day honouring the father of the Italian language, on Monday 25^th March.
