Fast Facts
A quick introduction to what makes La Scuola International School one-of-a-kind.
La Scuola International School
Founded in 2002, La Scuola International School uniquely blends the best approaches in education, guiding students to become leaders of their own learning.
WE ARE:
- One of the very few schools in the world to apply the Reggio Emilia Approach all the way through middle school;
- An authorized International Baccalaureate Primary Years school;
- An Italian language immersion school.
- Preschool through Elementary (2 – 11 years)

Students don’t need to speak Italian to enroll
Students entering preschool, kindergarten, or first grade will receive a gentle welcome to Italian and learn alongside their classmates. Students applying to all other grades will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis to ensure their smooth integration.
