Children's Castle International follows an international curriculum that supports social and emotional development. The kindergarten curriculum is Montessori-based, with a prepared environment that helps children learn at their own pace. The seven learning areas include literacy, mathematics, sensorial, practical life, creativity, cultural studies and outdoors. Independence, self-esteem, concentration, order and self-control are cultivated as children engage in meaningful activities across the curriculum. Outdoor activities promote social skills such as taking turns and cooperative play. Cultural studies help children learn responsibility and adaptability, helping them become responsible global citizens.
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.
