International Schools in Milan, Italy

Milan’s international schools typically combine an English-medium offer with a range of international curricula - most commonly the International Baccalaureate (PYP/MYP/DP), British (including IGCSE/A-Level pathways) and US-style programmes - and several schools also run bilingual Italian - English streams or strong Italian-taught pathways for families wanting local continuity. Fees are widely variable but many day schools publish annual tuition in the low-to-mid five-figure euro range for primary and secondary years, with early years usually lower and senior years often higher; additional charges for lunches, transport and language support are common. Admissions follow the Italian academic calendar (new school year begins in September), with many schools operating rolling applications, assessment visits or interviews and requiring a non-refundable application or registration deposit to hold a place. Practical matters for relocating families include transport logistics (school buses and Milan public transport are used by many pupils), and paperwork: some private international schools hold “paritaria” status under Italian law (equating certain titles with the national system) while non-EU families will need to check visa and residence-permit requirements for children and parents before arrival.
