IB Curriculum International Schools in Rome, Italy

IB international schools in Rome commonly teach the International Baccalaureate programmes - Primary Years (PYP), Middle Years (MYP) and Diploma (DP) - though not every school offers the full PYP - MYP - DP continuum. Instruction is predominantly in English, with a number of schools offering trilingual or bilingual pathways (French/Italian/English) and built-in Italian language lessons, plus English-as-an-additional-language support for newcomers. Annual tuition varies widely across Rome’s international sector: a recent citywide snapshot puts a typical school around €9,860 a year with most schools charging between roughly €7,600 and €17,000, while some larger or long-established schools charge more; expect extra costs for registration, transport and IB examination fees. The main intake follows the Italian school year (September), so families commonly apply three to six months ahead; many schools also operate rolling admissions and accept mid-year transfers where places and programme continuity allow, though waiting lists are frequent.
