Our client school in Milan offers a uniquely enriching international education that blends innovative teaching practices with a design-led approach to learning. Set across multiple campuses serving children from Nursery through to Secondary, the school provides a caring, inclusive, and stimulating environment where students are encouraged to be curious, creative, and collaborative. The curriculum spans the EYFS, IPC, Cambridge Primary, IGCSE, IB Middle Years Programme, and IB Diploma Programme, forming a coherent educational journey that supports intellectual, physical, emotional, and ethical development. Enquiry-based learning, computational thinking, and real-world problem solving are central to the schools pedagogy, fostering independence and critical thinking. While English is the main language of instruction, Italian students benefit from an adapted national curriculum recognised by the Ministry of Education, allowing them to sit Italian state exams and preserve their cultural identity. International students are also encouraged to engage with and appreciate Italian language and culture. As part of a global network of schools, our client is committed to preparing its diverse student body to thrive as compassionate, globally-minded citizens who are ready to shape the future.
