Let the school know you're thinking of applying — they can share their prerequisites and help you through the process.
It's best to ask — circumstances can change at any time.
The school has a dress code. We have the right to freely choose our clothing, provided it does not disturb others. In class, head coverings are not worn; underwear should be private and worn discreetly. Clothing should not display prints that glorify racism, sexism, drugs or violence. Shorts are allowed, but hot pants are not.
The canteen is operated by external catering firms Nigivia S.r.l. and Nicolai Ricevimenti S.r.l., and follows Italian Health Ministry guidelines. Canteen hours are arranged so that children in the kindergarten, primary and secondary sections can eat together with their peers. Enrollment is done directly with the canteen operator. A complete meal comprises a first and second course, plus fruit/dessert and water. A price list and menus are published; Menu 1 and Menu 2 rotate every four weeks; special menus and nutritional information are available.
The school is substantially funded by the Federal Republic of Germany and is supported by private involvement from parents represented in the DS Rom school association. The school has no shareholders or investors. The supervisory body is the association council, and the school's operations are governed by the association's statutes.
Deutsche Schule Rom is a German international K–12 school in Rome serving ages 2 to 18. The curriculum follows a continuous program from Nursery through Grundschule to Gymnasium, with a bespoke, European framework supervised by KMK. A core feature is Mehrsprachigkeit: German and Italian are integrated from the early years, with German-language instruction in Kindergarten and a multilingual approach in Grundschule that links the two languages. The Gymnasium culminates in the Deutsche Internationale Abitur (DIA), earned alongside the Italian maturità. The curriculum covers Deutsch, Italienisch, Englisch, Französisch, Latein, Mathematik, Biologie, Chemie, Physik, Informatik; Economics is taught in English; Philosophy/Filosofia is bilingual (Italian–German, Years 10–11); Italian History is offered. Students graduate with two diplomas and are prepared for university admission across Europe. The campus features digital classrooms, science laboratories, a 25‑meter indoor pool, an auditorium, music and art rooms, libraries, and outdoor facilities. After-school clubs and language certifications complement the academic program.
