More than a Classroom
Being a part of the International Baccalaureate community has heightened our interest in developing partnerships to enrich the curriculum and provide motivating student learning experiences.
Residential Trips
From grade 3 to grade 12, carefully chose residential trips, either in Italy or to international locations, are offered annually. The itinerary for all trips is carefully chosen to ensure an educational but enjoyable experience for the students and the security of students is always uppermost in our minds.
Grade 12 travel to Lisbon, Portugal (November 2017)
More residential trips
As part of the NACE group of schools, Rome International School, along with our sister school, Southlands International School, will be hosting an event for Year 9 and Year 10 students called the "Academic Olympics". This will involve events in both schools as well as a number of cultural activities.
For our residential trip, 28 to 31 May 2018, we went to the Emilia Romagna, in particular to the cities of Ravenna and Ferrara.
On Monday 14 May, Grade 7 accompanied by Mr. Scoppola, Ms. Reese, Mr. McNeill-Martinez and Ms. Pereira, departed for their residential trip to Cilento, a beautiful area that has a rich history and diverse landscape. This trip served to enrich student learning on topics relevant to History and Geography. In particular, visits to Parco archeologico di Paestum and Velia were real treats for our students.
This week our Grade 4 children went to Capalbio for their residential trip. There were a great deal of excursions and adventures over the course of the three days and I am so proud of all the students. Their enthusiasm and love for learning was an important aspect of what made this trip so successful.
Excursions
Excursions and visits to places of interest, such as exhibitions and museums, are carefully planned and extend the knowledge, skills and understanding gained in the classroom. These activities are one way of connecting with the local community, helping students to see the relation between what is being learned in the classroom and real-life.
On Tuesday 5 February, Year 10 students were invited to attend the Opening Ceremony of the renovated Paolo Rosi athletics track.
Last week, Ms Vivanco and 12 students from Years 5 and 6 together with their parents, travelled to Castellòn, Spain for the VII NACE Music Festival.
Year 5 and Year 6 students visit to Biblioteca Centrale Ragazzi was a great experience that promoted reading, art and culture, connected to the school library. The students borrowed books for their class libraries, discovered the work of Korean writers, and participated in a workshop with the talented illustrator Simone Rea and learned a painting technique that he uses in his artwork.
Before the winter break Year 6F had the great opportunity to meet and participate in a workshop with the Korean illustrator, Yu Jung Bae, winner of the "New Horizons" award at the 2018 Bologna Children's Book Fair,with her book Tree Dancing.

Rome International School has the full intention of extending the cultural and educational experience of its students by forging strong links with other IB schools worldwide. Exchange trips between our High School students and those of our ‘partner schools’ will be organised where possible by teachers at appropriate times of the year.
