Villa Grimani International School was founded in 1998 by a group of parents who wanted their children to have an excellent education in a happy, open-minded environment, with daily programming taught in English. Since then, the school has continued to improve and evolve, with a growing enrollment and education taught in both English and Italian. It is located in Noventana, Padua, at Via Leonardo da Vinci, 4, 35027 Noventana PD, and sits on 35,000 square meters of park. The school counts about 250 students and 60 staff members, and is five minutes from Padua.
Diaries are used for communication between the school and family and for homework information. Parents are the first educators of every child, and the school works in partnership with parents, teachers and the school leadership. All teachers are available to meet with parents weekly at scheduled times, and regular meetings are held to inform parents about the school programme. English support is provided to students entering first grade or higher who have limited or no English.
Parents are the first educators of every child and the school works in partnership with parents, teachers and the school leadership. Diaries are used for communication between the school and family and homework information. All teachers are available to meet with parents weekly at scheduled times, as are the Principal and the Headteacher, and regular meetings inform parents about the school programme. English support is provided to children who enter with little or no English, and parents do not need to speak or write English to help their children study. This is part of the school's approach to fostering growing self-responsibility in students.
