Rome International School was founded in 1988. The middle
school opened in September 2001 and the high school was
inaugurated in September 2007.
Since 2007, Rome International School has had formal links
with LUISS, one of the most prestigious, private Italian
universities. Students now also have the possibilty of direct
access to LUISS University graduate courses in English.
For over twenty years, Rome International School has meant
knowledge, opportunity and discovery, both personal and
intellectual.
We believe, as Immanuel Kant taught, that: ‘a human being
can only become truly human through education.’
Our highly specialised and international staff is committed
to our students’ education and to helping them in their
journey towards becoming enterprising and inquiring
individuals, giving each the chance to realise their own
personal and unique talents. Our teachers are there to help
and challenge, to motivate and prepare our students for their
future in an ever-changing world.
All teachers are experienced university graduates. A
comprehensive professional development programme
ensures that the staff is well aware of and trained in the latest
educational insights and best practice techniques.

years. Suitability for entrance to our school will be assessed on
the basis of each individual case. The admission of external
students into middle and high school requires success in the
entrance tests. Please check our website for more information.
Our planned new school building and campus have been
specially designed for 21st century education and reflect our
focus on critical thinking, enquiry based approaches and a
passion for learning. High school students are supplied with
an iPad and the school is developing a Moodle environment
intended to maximise the benefits of contemporary
networking approaches.
