Learning Support Programme
Founded in 1958, ISM has completed the transition from a British to an international curriculum and is the only school in Italy with all programmes based entirely on the International Baccalaureate. The school is fully authorised to offer the Primary and Middle Years Programme and has been a fully authorised IB Diploma school since 1987. In the Lower School, classes are self-contained with inquiry learning promoted by the class teachers and specialist support staff. The Middle School is a transitional phase for young adolescents, characterised by the gradual development from a learning experience structured by the class teacher to one that is based on tuition by subject specialist teachers. Support and personal counselling are central features of the Middle School.

The High School leads to the IB diploma. Some students prepare College Board tests and assistance is available for Italian elementary and middle school exams. Computers and libraries are used extensively across the curriculum from an early age. Each school site has a specialist EAL team and access to professional counsellors. The school is staffed by qualified teachers and the average length of service at the school is six years. There are currently some 60 nationalities represented in the student body. Virtually every graduate goes on to university in Britain, the USA, Italy or their home country.

The school year runs from early September until late June. Educational visits are an essential feature of the school's activities. Extra-curricular activities include sports, theatre, music, Model United Nations, Global Issues Network, and school magazine. An elected Student Council represents the student body and arranges social events throughout the year.

The main facilities are in the west of the city with a Primary and Middle School Section in Monza. There is a full complement of science laboratories, libraries, computer centres, art and music studios, gymnasiums and sports pitches. School buses provide a daily service in the city and many suburban regions. A new campus is now under construction close to our current sites with the opening scheduled for 2012

Admission is based on previous school records and a personal interview wherever possible. A good knowledge of English is usually required, but special cases in the international community will be considered on their merits.
