Why Choose RIS?

RIS continues to be the only school in Rome authorised to offer both the International Baccalaureate (IB) Primary Years Programme and IB Diploma Programme. The school is also an accredited centre for the Cambridge IGCSE thereby ensuring the quality and consistency of a true international education and a passport to universities of choice worldwide. 

Our highly qualified and caring international staff stimulate students' natural curiosity and inspire students to achieve their full potential.  Students who complete the educational journey at RIS will have established a set of values that will lay the foundation for international mindedness and critical thinking to develop and flourish.

The foundation of the educational experience at RIS is based on an effective partnership between students, staff and parents. Our inquiry-based approach, aligned with the ethos of the International Baccalaureate, places students at the centre of the learning process and allows them to be active participants in their education, from the Early Years to the High School.

From the Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award to educational partnerships with WWF, Eco Schools and LEGO® Education,  students can participate in enriching co-curricular and extracurricular activities that take learning beyond the classroom and make real-world connections.

As a proud member of the Globeducate family and with more than 450 students of mixed gender representing 50 different nationalities, RIS Rome is a fine example of a global and welcoming community.
