The Canadian School of Milan operates on two centrally located campuses in Milan: Gioia Campus for Early Years and Primary, and Vivaio Campus for Middle and Senior School. Gioia Campus hosts Early Learning and Primary programmes in bright, child-centred spaces with a spacious playground. Vivaio Campus, opened in 2023, hosts the Middle and Senior School and offers state-of-the-art facilities tailored to the academic, social, and emotional needs of adolescents. The school serves students aged 2 to 18 and offers the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme. Together, the two campuses provide an age-appropriate learning environment at every stage of a student's education.
Co-Curricular Activities include sports programs across Primary and Senior School. Primary School offers Boys Soccer and Girls Soccer as part of the clubs. Senior School includes additional sports-related activities such as Calcetto Soccer and Table Tennis. Other physical education options appear in the clubs, including Yoga and Mindfulness. These offerings demonstrate a broad commitment to physical activity and team-based participation across the school community.
Gioia Campus hosts the Early Years and Primary programmes, while Vivaio Campus hosts the Middle and Senior School. In Middle School, students follow the Cambridge International Curriculum leading to IGCSE in Grades 9 and 10, and ultimately pursue the IB Diploma Programme in the final two years, supported by a dedicated University counsellor. Vivaio Campus opened in 2023 and provides state-of-the-art facilities to meet the academic, social, and emotional needs of students. The University counselling support complements the curriculum to help students plan for university destinations and programmes.
The Co-Curricular Programme offers a diverse and evolving list of clubs to nurture student interests and interpersonal skills. Primary School clubs include Art Club, Chess, Robotics, Judo, Mindfulness, Theatre Club, Violin and wind instruments, and various language and social activities. Senior School clubs include Debate Club, Model UN, Music Technology, Orchestra, School Musical, and Table Tennis, among others. The Duke of Edinburgh's International Award, Student Council, and various performance and leadership opportunities are also part of the extracurricular offerings.
The Canadian School of Milan’s Gioia Campus serves students from age 2 to 11 in a central urban setting. The curriculum integrates the Cambridge Primary framework for English and Mathematics with the Ontario (Canadian) framework for broader inquiry. Students utilize a dedicated STEAM Lab, which is equipped for robotics, engineering, and biological studies involving live reptiles and plants. Physical education is central to the daily routine, with the Primary curriculum including specialized swimming and ice-skating lessons at local professional facilities. Instruction is delivered in English by native-speaking educators, while Italian language lessons are mandatory to ensure local cultural integration. A distinctive feature of the school is its "Junior School" model at the Gioia site, which separates the younger learners from the adolescent population to provide age-specific playgrounds and bright, low-rise classrooms. The school operates as a day-only institution, offering private door-to-door transportation for families living across Milan’s diverse residential zones.
