About international schools in Italy

Schools in Italy that follow the CBSE or other Indian curricula are typically set up to give children of Indian and Indian-origin families continuity with the national Indian system while operating inside the Italian school market; many are in larger cities and metropolitan areas where Indian communities concentrate. Instruction is usually English-medium, with schools commonly offering Hindi or another Indian language alongside Italian lessons to help children integrate locally and meet language requirements. Fees for these international Indian-curriculum schools sit within Italy’s wider international-school market, so expect annual tuition to fall in the mid-thousands to mid-tens of thousands of euros with lower and higher outliers; always request a full, current fee schedule from any school. Admissions follow the standard Italian international-school rhythm - most schools recruit for September entry (applications commonly open in the winter months) but can consider mid-year starts if places are available, and schools will ask for previous school records, ID/passport, and proof of residency as part of enrolment checks.

FAQs for Italy

What exactly is the CBSE curriculum and how does it relate to schooling in Italy?
CBSE is India’s national board that sets syllabuses for Classes 1 - 12 and conducts the Class 10 and Class 12 board examinations; schools outside India may affiliate with CBSE and follow the same syllabus and assessment structure so students can transfer between Indian and overseas CBSE schools. Families should confirm any school’s official CBSE affiliation with the board and ask how the school handles local accreditation and university pathways.
At what ages and stages do CBSE schools in Italy teach, and what exams should I expect?
Most Indian-curriculum schools teach from early years through to senior secondary (roughly ages 3 - 18), following the same grade bands used in India; the key national assessments are the AISSE (Class 10) and the AISSCE (Class 12) for schools formally affiliated to CBSE. If your child will sit those board exams, check where the school runs secure exam centres and how it supports overseas candidates.
What languages are used and what language support will my child need?
Teaching in CBSE schools is usually in English; schools commonly offer one Indian language (such as Hindi) plus Italian lessons to help pupils settle into local life, and many provide extra-language support for non-native English speakers. Recent CBSE guidance has relaxed language requirements for schools abroad, allowing a single Indian language in lieu of the traditional two-language rule, but each school’s language provision varies so ask for the current policy.
How much should we budget for fees and additional costs?
Tuition for Indian-curriculum international schools in Italy generally falls within the country’s overall international-school range, with most schools charging several thousand euros per year and many clustered in the mid-thousands to mid-teens; additional mandatory costs often include registration/enrolment fees, transport, meals and activity trips. Because fee structures vary widely by school and year group, request the full breakdown (tuition, capital levies, extras and any sibling discounts) and ask about payment schedules before you commit.
When should we apply and what documents do schools typically require for admission?
Start enquiries early and plan applications for the main September intake - many international schools open applications in the winter months and make decisions months before term starts - but schools frequently accommodate mid-year moves where space exists. Typical requirements include the child’s passport or ID, previous school reports and transcripts, proof of address or residency, vaccination records, and sometimes an assessment or interview to place the child at the right level.
