English is the language of instruction for the British Curriculum; the Italian Curriculum is offered for primary education and is aligned with MIUR. Italian is taught as part of that programme, and Spanish is studied as a third language. In both Primary and Secondary, teachers collaborate across English and Italian to provide bilingual learning, and a dedicated language teacher supports students needing extra help in English or Italian.
Teachers collaborate with Italian counterparts to deliver learning across English and Italian languages.
Early Years are English-language immersion.
