The Best International Schools in Rome

Being a student at SSIS has made me realise the importance of learning and how to be a lifelong learner. This school has made me want to be the best version of myself. I am regularly given the opportunity to reflect on my mistakes and my achievements, thus developing a growth mindset. The teachers, students, and facilities here come together to create an environment that ensures my success as a student who will successfully learn and become wiser for years to come.

I am lucky to be a student at SSIS. Over the years, the school has taught me things beyond just academics. In SSIS, I am offered a variety of extracurricular activities that range from service, and creativity, to activity. Our teachers and classmates encourage each other to participate in these, and it is because of this supportive environment that I have had many new experiences. SSIS has facilitated my development in sport and academic learning, as well as socially. It really is a great place to be.

We have chosen St. Peter’s School because we wanted our daughter to be educated in English since that would be of great help in her future. And we also wanted to provide her with the opportunity to have friends from other nationalities, because that would enable her to get to know other cultures and traditions. What we value the most is the fact that our daughter is happy in school. We noticed this since she started at the age of 3. In her own words, St. Peter’s is “a very special place”.What we like the most about the school is that they have small groups, because that enables teachers to provide students with a very personalized education, helping every child with their needs. We like the curriculum, the activities that respond to social needs and the special events such as the “World Book Day”, the “Chocolatada Solidaria”, the “Book Fair” or the “Maths International Day”. It has been a great decision to bring our daughter to this school, we are very happy!

Choosing our children’s school is not an easy task. When we arrived at St. Peter we had already visited several schools, we were tired and discouraged, as none of the previous ones had met our expectations. At St. Peter, we were received with incomparable attention and, little by little, during the visit, our doubts were clarified and our insecurity was dissolved. Finally, when we entered the art room – a space with so many colors, textures and smells – we were sure that St. Peter would be our choice. We can see our son’s growth daily, his incredible linguistic development, the recognition of numbers, the writing of his own name and so many other achievements that make us sure that we made the right decision when choosing St. Peter as our school.

We chose St. Peters as we were drawn by its vision and mission, to nurture students with a love for life-long learning, and making meaningful contributions to society. Adapting to a new country as a family is challenging but the professionalism of the St. Peter’s family eased it for us where our child’s education is concerned. Our child enjoys going to school and we are very impressed and appreciative of the efforts and dedication of the teachers and staff, in ensuring a loving and safe environment for our child to develop and prosper. The teachers and staff constantly project an enthusiastic outlook for the betterment of the students, see every child with potential of his/her own and always strive for close partnership with parents. We saw how they rose to the occasion as an institution in overcoming the challenges of the lockdown last year and this ongoing pandemic. Our child looks forward and speaks fondly of his school experiences daily and we thank the St Peters family for this.

It’s time to say goodbye and we want to say a huge THANK YOU to everyone!!! The teachers didn’t just educate our kids. You all taught them the importance of education. We are grateful to you. You were kind, patient and considerate, but played the stickler when you needed to. You have played a key role in moulding our children into good human beings and they will miss so much about LCIS. Thanks a lot for your support. All the best and Auf Wiedersehen

Thank you for the wonderful years at La Côte International School Aubonne, it has truly been a joy to be part of this adventure from the beginning, and to see the school and the boys evolve so beautifully. The boys have really enjoyed every minute of it, the excellent quality of the teaching, the efficiency and friendliness of the whole team at LCIS, the atmosphere, the programme, the excursions, the fabulous music shows, thank you for all these wonderful moments.

It has been more than an year since my kids left this school, but they still remember it so fondly! Had a fantastic experience and saw my kids flourish in this positive, lively and encouraging learning environment! The staff is extremely encouraging and motivating towards the students. Parents are always welcomed and supported in adapting to the new place.

Teachers are resourceful and creative in finding the most amazing ways to develop our children’s curiosity and they really make learning afun activity for kids to pursue. I have visited many schools in the area and I have yet to see the quality of teachers like the ones in Foundation Years at La Côte.

The videos you have all made, the activities you have thought of and the ability to keep the Ermitage community upbeat, happy and engaged as learners during this time has been amazing. My daughter has continued to be motivated to learn and keep up with her lessons and school work, despite the new way of working. This is thanks to all the efforts of your teaching team and the previous work that you have done with her to help her to grow as an individual (not just academically).”

My parents were searching for a boarding school … they (and I) decided Institut Montana would be the best fit – the student population, the amazing view, the overall welcoming feeling… whenever a new student arrived, everyone would be curious to get to know them and to learn from them.

Thanks to the social and people skills acquired at Institut Montana, I believe I was better prepared for relationship building which, in my perception, is key in any career.
