Children's Castle International in Italy welcomes children aged 2 to 11 to a bilingual, international learning environment. The nursery uses Montessori methods, while the Cambridge Primary curriculum guides the primary years, mapped to UK stages: Class 1 (2–3) nursery; Class 2 (3–4) Foundation Stage; Class 3 (4–5) Reception; Class 4 (5–6) Year 1. Cambridge Primary is complemented by Italian language studies to support mobility between countries. The school is Cambridge International-affiliated, a member of RISA, and approved by Italy's Ministry of Education (MIUR). Learning areas cover Literacy, Mathematics, Sensorial, Practical Life, Creativity, Cultural Studies, and Outdoors. The campus overlooks Lake Albano and sits in a villa with a large compound, green spaces, a forest, parking, an airy gym, spacious classrooms, a lunch room, and child-sized toilets, all compliant with Italian health and safety requirements. The program blends Montessori in kindergarten with Cambridge in the primary years within a bilingual framework.
