IS Bergamo opened with a vision of providing an international education in the Bergamo area. The development of this venture was shared with educationalists and experts from the International School of Milan. The school is a member of Inspired Education Group, a leading operator of premium schools with a global network. Inspired owns the International School of Europe group in Italy, with campuses in Milan, Monza, Modena, Como, Siena and Ticino, and the St. Louis School in Milan. IS Bergamo caters for children from 2 to 18 years old.
IS Bergamo promotes a community spirit with close cooperation between parents and the school. Everyone works to identify and meet the educational and social needs of the child to offer them the best possible start in life. Parent involvement includes a Parent Ambassador Programme, Student-Led Conferences, presentations and conferences, International Day, Open Lessons, and Parent-Teacher Conferences.
Parent Ambassadors Programme helps parents understand the learning journey and promotes IS Bergamo; Ambassadors are advocates engaging with current and prospective parents and the wider community. Student-Led Conferences invite parents to attend and observe the learning progress as students present their year's work. Presentations and Conferences are organised on educational issues, with parents invited to attend and share the school philosophy and programme. International Day showcases the diversity of nationalities at IS Bergamo, inviting families to participate in games and activities. Open Lessons invite parents to observe classroom learning with teachers and specialists. Parent-Teacher Conferences are held twice a year to discuss children's progress and may include three-way conferences where appropriate.
International School of Bergamo (IS Bergamo) offers the International Baccalaureate continuum: PYP, MYP and Diploma Programme, alongside Early Years Foundation Stage. The school serves ages 2 to 18 with instruction in English and EAL support, and Italian language study integrated for all students. From Grade 1, a 1:1 iPad programme supports digital learning, and the MYP uses eight subject groups with progression toward the DP. IS Bergamo combines an English-speaking environment with mother-tongue Italian for Italian students, and follows a Reggio Emilia-inspired approach in the Early Years within the IB framework. The campus is new, with outdoor facilities, a performing arts studio, an indoor gym, an innovation hub and an equipped science laboratory; an on-site canteen serves meals. Bruno Munari art laboratories and Orff Schulwerk music are a permanent feature of the arts programme. The school is part of Inspired Education Group, linking it to a network of schools. After-school activities include TED-Ed Club, Model United Nations, FIRST LEGO League robotics, Judo and Arts & Crafts.
