Introduction

Anglo-Italian School – Montessori Division provides a bilingual, Montessori-based learning path for children aged 3 to 13. The program preserves Montessori education for the early years (2½ to 6) with three core activity areas: Practical Life, Sensorial and Formal Skills, while older students transition to Cambridge Secondary, the American Curriculum and a bespoke curriculum tailored to development. The dual-language program operates in Italian and English, with Italian state examinations and Cambridge exam preparation offered in the final year. The campus houses age-appropriate Montessori classrooms, a garden, library, music room, art room and a Smart Room to support interactive learning. Extracurriculars span events such as concerts, science fairs and gardening days, integrated with the school calendar. The school runs ESL with a Language Lab and Italian as a Second Language to assist non-Italian or non-English speakers. NATO roots inform monthly study themes about NATO countries, fostering global awareness and cross-cultural understanding.

Fees
Application / Registration fee
- A registration (application) fee is required and must be deposited to complete the registration process; the registration form references a separate fee attachment that lists the exact registration amount.

Tuition fees by year group (per term / per year)
- The school does not publish detailed tuition amounts by year group or per term in publicly available fee schedules for the current academic year; specific annual and per‑term tuition figures are not publicly provided.

Billing schedule and payment terms
- Tuition is invoiced on a monthly schedule and tuition payments are due no later than the 10th of each month. A late‑payment charge of EUR 1.00 per day applies; if payment is not received within 20 days of the due date the student may not be admitted to class. Parents commit to pay the entire tuition for the year even if the student withdraws early. The registration form also states that tuition remains payable in the event of forced school closures (including closures ordered by authorities).

Boarding fees
- Boarding is not offered by the Montessori Division; the program operates as a day school with standard school hours. No boarding fees apply.

Other costs and recurring additional fees
- Books and course materials: Italian and English books are purchased through the school; book prices are updated annually and communicated to parents.
- After‑school / extracurricular activities: Afternoon activities are available and are charged in addition to monthly tuition. Specific examples with published fees include the Homework Club (monthly fee EUR 160.00 or daily fee EUR 10.00). Other extra activities (art, music, clubs) have additional costs that vary by activity.
- Transport: Bus service is available on request through independent private bus companies; transport is arranged and charged separately through those providers.
- Uniform: There is no uniform requirement; families provide their own clothing.

Refund information
- The registration form requires a commitment to pay the full tuition for the school year; tuition remains due in full in the case of early withdrawal by the student and in cases of forced closure. This indicates that pro‑rata refunds for early withdrawal or for forced closures are not provided in ordinary circumstances.

Fee payment options (credit card / bank transfer / other)
- Publicly available documents (the registration form and admissions materials) specify payment due dates and late‑payment penalties but do not list specific payment methods (for example, credit card or bank transfer details are not published in the materials reviewed). Parents should expect standard institutional payment methods may be used, but no payment‑method details are publicly listed.

Brief summary of findings and remaining gaps
- The registration form and admissions materials confirm a required registration fee, the monthly billing date (10th), late‑payment penalties, and the school's refund/commitment terms; after‑school activity prices include concrete figures for Homework Club (EUR 160/month or EUR 10/day). However, a complete schedule showing tuition amounts by year group and per term (the fee attachment referenced in the registration form) is not published in the public materials found. External school directories likewise indicate that the school does not make its full tuition schedule publicly available. For any precise per‑year or per‑term tuition figures, the school's published Schedule of Fees attachment (referred to in the registration form) would be the definitive source.

Parent Experience

History
The Anglo-Italian School was founded in 1958 by a group of NATO parents as an international daycare. Mrs. Alba Fedele, a mother and educator, trained in the Montessori method in Perugia and worked closely with Dr. Paolini to implement Montessori materials and practice. She brightened the classrooms, had child-sized furniture made for the rooms, and placed fresh flowers on each table to create a welcoming atmosphere. The school later expanded to include Elementary and Middle School, with native English-speaking teachers and Italian staff to prepare students for the Italian State Exams. Graduates and their families have continued the tradition, and the school continues to offer an English-Italian education for NATO officials, diplomats and local nationals.

Community
The school fosters a community that involves active engagement from parents and the wider community. The mission states the environment emphasizes high moral character, intercultural harmony and academic achievement, and it works with both parents and the community. The school hosts annual events such as Graduation, Christmas Concert, Halloween, Science Fair, Thanksgiving and Carnevale; the Christmas Concert features performances in English, Italian and Chinese.
