A World-Class Education in Rome
Education is most powerful when learning connects with the world beyond the classroom. At Rome International School, learning begins in the classroom, grows through nature, comes to life across Rome, and reaches throughout the world through a global network of opportunities.
Globally Recognised,
Grounded in Italy
Rome International School combines the strengths of internationally recognised programmes with the rich educational traditions of Italy. As an authorised International Baccalaureate (IB) World School, accredited Cambridge IGCSE examination centre, and recognised as a Scuola Primaria Paritaria by the Italian Ministry of Education and Merit, we offer an education that is both globally respected and firmly rooted in Italy.
From Early Years onwards, students experience the best of both systems. The IB Primary Years Programme is enriched by the Italian curriculum, Middle School students may choose to follow the Italian Ministerial Programme (Terza Media exams), and High School IB Diploma Programme students can benefit from equivalency with the Maturità, opening pathways to leading universities in Italy and around the world.

How Students Learn at RIS
At Rome International School, inquiry is the foundation of every learning journey. Curiosity takes root through questions, exploration, and discovery on our beautiful campus in the Monte Mario Nature Reserve.
Students grow through hands-on inquiry that brings together STEAM, sustainability, and the living classroom that is Rome, applying their knowledge to meaningful, real-world challenges.
They reach beyond borders through the Globeducate Network and our international partnerships connecting them to a world of opportunities and equipping them with the confidence and experience to pursue their ambitions wherever life leads them.
