Introduction

Kendale International School offers British and American curricula in Italy. The school serves ages 3 to 10, spanning primary through Year 6, with small class sizes averaging 10–14 students that support individual learning. The timetable blends core international subjects with a focus on creativity: time for musical, dramatic and artistic activities, together with regular physical education. Instruction is in English, complemented by a comprehensive Italian course and an introduction to French, helping pupils develop multilingual communication. For younger children, daily routines foster independent learning in a safe and supportive environment. By Year 6, Kendale pupils are prepared for transition to Middle School—whether at an Italian Scuola Media, an international institution, or a school in their home country. Established in 1972, the school has decades of experience, with activities such as Art Week, museum excursions in Rome, and after-school programs including Italian language study across history, geography, science, poetry and maths.
