Introduction

La Scuola International School offers an international, language-rich education for children aged 2 to 14. The Milano campus will blend the International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme and Middle Years Programme with a Reggio Emilia-inspired learning approach and English/Italian language immersion. While Milano applies for IB candidacy before opening, other campuses are fully accredited. In line with the Montreal Language Immersion Model, instruction uses English and Italian with grade-appropriate distributions, beginning with 90/10 English/Italian in PreK and moving toward balanced bilingual learning from primary through middle grades. The school also draws on a bespoke curriculum that complements IB with hands-on projects and multilingual inquiry. Facilities features include Ateliers such as Art, Environmental Science/Garden, Music, Languages, and Design & Technology, plus Physical Education & Athletics. The Ambassador Ensemble and two yearly concerts showcase student creativity; the Garden & Environmental Studies Atelier provides ecological learning. Languages are embedded across learning, supporting culturally engaged learners.
