Welcome
Rome International School (RIS) is proud to welcome families from around the world. Together, we celebrate the richness of our diverse cultures, united by a shared commitment to nurturing confident, compassionate, and capable learners who will make a positive contribution to the world around them.
At RIS, our strength lies in our sense of community. Students, parents, and staff work in partnership to create a caring, dynamic environment where every child is known, valued, and inspired to achieve their personal best. Through this close collaboration, we personalise each learning journey — challenging and supporting our students to develop curiosity, creativity, and confidence both within and beyond the classroom.
Our teachers are committed to the highest standards of education and work closely with peers within our school and across our global group to develop innovative approaches that deliver exceptional learning outcomes. Their passion and expertise ensure that teaching at RIS is inspiring and impactful, preparing students for success in school, in life, and at top universities around the world.
Our commitment to academic excellence goes hand in hand with our focus on wellbeing, character, and global citizenship. We want our students to love coming to school, to feel a strong sense of belonging, and to be empowered to take ownership of their learning through an enriched and engaging curriculum that encourages ambition, collaboration, and resilience.
Set within the beautiful Monte Mario Natural Reserve, our green oasis campus provides an exceptional environment for learning - a calm, natural space in the heart of the city that supports outdoor and forest learning, wellbeing, and exploration. This unique setting allows our students to connect with nature as part of their daily experience, fostering curiosity, balance, and a love of the world around them.
As a truly international community, we place great importance on intercultural understanding and respect. With families and staff representing many nationalities, we celebrate our diversity as a source of strength and learning. We also value and celebrate the rich culture of our host country and city - Rome and Italy - using this inspiring context as a vibrant backdrop to our children’s learning and exploration.
I warmly invite you to explore our website to learn more about our school, our people, and the unique learning experience we offer. The very best way to understand what makes RIS so special, however, is to see it in action, I encourage you to visit us and experience first-hand the warmth, joy, and sense of community that define our school.
