Invitation to the Announcement Event for La Scuola International School Milan on Nov 25

We are overjoyed to announce La Scuola International School's newest campus, located between Milan's CityLife and the Bovisa district. This new campus will be enrolling students aged 2 to 14 (preschool through grade 8) for the 2026/27 school year starting December 2025. In Milan, we offer your family the same exuberant and grounded educational approach developed over decades of experience in the San Francisco Bay area.

Unlike any other in the world, the campuses of independent, non-profit La Scuola International School blend the International Baccalaureate® Primary Years and Middle Years Programmes*, the Reggio Emilia Approach® all the way through Grade 8, and English/Italian language immersion to guide students in becoming leaders of their own learning — and lives.

We do this because we know the real measure of success is a proven ability to meet change as change-makers.

*Our Milan campus will apply for candidacy for the International Baccalaureate Programme prior to opening. All other campuses are fully accredited. 

Valentina Imbeni, Ph.D. welcomes you to La Scuola International School, Milan.
