Admissions	Admissions
Admissions	Admissions The main criterion for admission is the evaluation of the child's ability to benefit from the school. Enrollment is rolling. After an initial discussion with the head of the school, visits are arranged; for parents coming from overseas, this is done online. For this meeting, parents provide the most recent school or kindergarten reports (if applicable). Together we determine if the child's language skills are at a suitable level to join the class for their age group. If the child is joining an existing class, a plan for their integration is discussed. Parents complete and submit enrollment forms. A Payment Prospect is sent based on annual fees and the time of year the student starts. The first payment is made and enrollment is confirmed. Downloadable documents include Fees, Calendar, Enrollment Forms, and Handbook. Britannia International School of Rome was founded in 1987. Our aim is to create a friendly and encouraging atmosphere to promote a positive attitude towards learning and to help children feel happy, secure and motivated. Hours are Monday to Friday, 9am-12pm/1pm-3pm. Via Ernesto Parisi 11 – 00134 Roma. P.IVA 08076451007. Tel. +39 0639742729.
