Every Child Thrives.
A Living Classroom Unlike Any Other
Set on over 3 hectares within the Monte Mario Nature Reserve just minutes from Rome’s historic centre, our campus offers a distinctive learning environment where students learn from history, culture, and nature every day. Rome itself becomes the classroom bringing learning to life.
The Best of International & Italian Education
As an International Baccalaureate (IB) World School offering English-language education, RIS is the only school in Rome authorised to offer both the IB Primary Years Programme and the IB Diploma Programme. Our Elementary School is also recognised by the Italian Ministry of Education (MIUR) as “Scuola Primaria Paritaria,” giving families the benefits of both internationally and nationally recognised education.
Reaching A World of Opportunity
Through partnerships with organizations such as WWF, LEGO® Education, and the Globeducate Network, RIS gives students authentic learning experiences across Rome and the world. Every experience inspires inquiry, collaboration, and purposeful action beyond the classroom.
A Truly International Community
We believe children thrive when they feel safe, valued, and connected in community. With students from 50+ nationalities and an international teaching team, we prepare students to communicate across cultures, embrace different perspectives, and make a meaningful impact in an increasingly interconnected world.
