International Schools in Rome, Italy

Rome’s international schools form a mixed ecosystem of American, British, International Baccalaureate, French and German curricula alongside Italian-state-recognised (paritarie) bilingual schools, so families can usually find English-medium options as well as trilingual or English-Italian pathways. English is the dominant language of instruction at most international schools, with Italian taught as a core language and other languages (French, German, Spanish, Mandarin) commonly available. Fees vary widely by school and pupil age: expect lower annual tuition for early years and primary at some bilingual paritarie and small private schools, and substantially higher fees at full-range day schools offering IGCSE/A-levels or IB Diploma; add one-off enrolment or capital levies and ancillary costs such as transport, meals and extracurriculars. Admissions operate on a rolling and cycle mix - many families start applications 6 - 12 months before a September intake - and practical factors such as school location, weekday traffic and whether a school is recognised by the Italian system are important when planning a move to Rome.
