Assisi International School is a bilingual Montessori-method school with campuses in Assisi and Perugia, Italy. It serves learners from infancy to adolescence, ages 0 to 18, with a progressive curriculum that integrates Montessori principles in the early years and Cambridge programmes in primary and secondary education, including Cambridge IGCSE. The Bespoke Curriculum component allows for individualized learning pathways within a supportive school community. The two campuses sit in the Umbrian region, offering a blend of local context and international perspectives, with a focus on developing independent, curious learners who can navigate diverse cultures. In the Montessori tradition, the school emphasizes hands-on learning, self-directed activity, and collaborative work, while Cambridge elements provide structured academic progression and external recognition. As a bilingual institution, students are immersed in a multilingual environment that supports communication, critical thinking, and global citizenship throughout the 0–18 age range. The school values community, safety, and strong family partnerships.
