A Proud Member of Globeducate

Globeducate is one of the leading international K12 education groups in the world, a network of 65+ premium bi-lingual and international schools, as well as online programmes, educating 40,000 students in 11 countries.

Our mission is to prepare each student to become a global citizen who can shape the world.

A dynamic, supportive network of 65+ schools in 11 countries

A Globeducate school creates opportunities to connect with students from our schools across the world to come together, in person or online, for sport, music, arts, academic challenges and to work with others to help build a more equal, fair and sustainable world. Our teachers benefit from regional and international learning community professional development. 

One Key Principles

Connecting young minds and spirits for a global perspective

The world is changing at an incredible pace and education has to keep up with this constantly shifting environment. Our students can only succeed in tomorrow´s world if they are well prepared for the challenges they will face in their future professional and personal lives. In addition to providing an excellent academic education, we ensure that our students develop skills and abilities beyond the purely academic and lay down a solid, values-based foundation for life. 

Our Key Principles

Globeducate´s educational vision is based on four fundamental principles: Educational Excellence, Skills and Competencies, Character and Global Perspectives. 

Our Globeducate Agenda

As educators at Globeducate, we have the opportunity and responsibility to lay the foundations for a better future and this begins with a robust response to the pace of change we see in the world and to the approach we take to sustainability education.

Watch this short film explaining Globeducate´s mission to address the social, economic and environmental challenges that are re-shaping our communities across the world.

Globeducate has developed a Global Agenda to bring our vision to life in classrooms. Through partnerships with WWF and Eco-Schools, we can fulfil our mission to address the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.  

Taking action today to protect tomorrow

We partner with WWF to offer a varied calendar of awareness-raising online and in-person events. Delivering sustainability education means our students drive change.

Our unique global partnership with leading conservation charity WWF sees us collaborating across our school network, impacting on the education of more than 40,000 young people each year.  With the WWF having played a key role in identifying the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals, it is a natural partnership for Globeducate.   

“It is truly inspiring to see the huge amount of work Globeducate schools around the world do to prioritise sustainability and work for the good of the planet. Their imaginative ideas show the passion and commitment there is across the network and it is clear that Globeducate are inspiring and empowering a wave of young environmental leaders.”  

Sophie Peckham, Schools Fundraising Manager

Student-led action for a sustainable future: Eco-Schools

Eco-Schools is the world´s largest sustainability education programme. Globeducate schools are all committed to being certified Eco-Schools. 

Across our network, our students and teachers find inspiring and innovative ways to take action and make impact, and to mark globally recognised events such as Earth Hour.

These days unite our whole Globeducate family as our students and teachers from across different age groups and cultures share their successes and challenges.

Building 21st-century skills for a better future

At the heart of our Globeducate vision — we prepare students to be global citizens who can shape the world — lies our commitment to equipping students with the skills and knowledge necessary to make their own impact on the future. 

• Collaborative learning enables hands-on play, sparking curiosity and creativity in our youngest students.
•  

Real-life, curriculum-aligned projects to develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills.

Advanced learning opportunities for older students through coding and robotics. Mentoring younger students.

Science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics (STEAM) play a crucial part in every young Globeducate student's learning journey.  We work with LEGO ® Education and, in our ICS schools, Arts International, to support our STEAM Programme.

Inspiring students to make a valuable contribution to the world through global events

Globeducate schools across the world join together for a series of annual international events.

Throughout the year, Globeducate regularly organises events and invites students and teachers from across our network to attend or, where possible, participate remotely. 

Our events are organised into three areas:

• Globeducate Events (Seven global events)
• Globeducate Agenda (WWF, Eco-Schools, Debates)
• Globeducate Learning Communities (Outdoor Learning, Reading, STEAM)

Our collective strength generates individual pathways for a meaningful future

At RIS Rome we are committed to ensuring that each student is accompanied on his or her educational journey to reach his or her individual academic goals. We support students’ aspirations for the next stages of their lives through academic advising and a thorough college and career counselling programme.

Whether our students apply to universities in Europe, USA, Canada, the UK or choose to remain in Italy they will receive the personalised support that they need.
