International elementary and middle school. Castelli International School is one of the most exciting and stimulating green international schools in Europe.

Founded in 1977, the school is beautifully situated on a hilltop overlooking Rome, surrounded by vineyards and olive groves on the slopes of the Alban hills. We have an elementary and middle school. CIS bases its educational philosophy on a Chinese proverb:

When I hear I forget. When I see I remember. When I do I understand.

This week, the children have been discovering the wonderful world of the five senses. Each day, we focused on one sense, giving the children the opportunity to explore, experiment and learn through hands-on experiences.

From exploring a variety of textures, listening to different sounds, observing the world around us, discovering new smells and tasting different flavours, the children have been engaging their senses both inside the classroom and outdoors.

By taking the learning outside, we encouraged the children to connect with nature, notice details and discover how our senses help us understand the world around us.

Learning math is more fun when we get hands-on!

Our Grade 1 learners are building number sense skills and comparing numbers using fun, interactive activities and the Hungry Alligator!

The alligator always opens its mouth toward the bigger number, helping students understand greater than, less than, and equal to in a playful, meaningful way. Learning through play makes math come alive!

A child is more than a set of test results. Academic progress matters, but so do confidence, creativity, resilience and emotional growth — a good education helps children develop as whole people. Sometimes their progress shows up in a piece of work. Sometimes it shows up the moment they try again, speak up, help a friend, or manage disappointment with only a brief negotiation with their facial expression. At Castelli, we value every part of a child's development — not just the part that gets marked.

More hands-on-learning at Castelli International School this week.

Grade 6 did it, discussed it, wrote about it, and learned from it! , , , , , , , ,

Grade 2 have been very busy this week in science. We have been learning about what is alive, not alive and never being alive. We went out into the garden and discussed what we saw and then made a chart and drew and labelled what we thought went into each category. The children had fun comparing pictures and notes .

Mistakes aren't the opposite of learning — very often, they're part of the route.

A crossed-out answer, a changed plan, a second attempt, a carefully reconsidered idea: all of it can mean real thinking is happening. Growth mindset helps children swap “Can I do this?” for “What can I try next?”

At Castelli, we want children to see challenge as an invitation to grow, not a reason to stop.

Growing veggies and learning how to cook them is a key life skill to learn that will nourish both the brain and the body. We put our Life-skills hub to good use this week.

Last year, our elementary school children planted butternut squashes in the school garden. Over the summer, they grew (the squashes AND the children) — and this week it was time for the harvest. The best were picked and then cooked (just the squashes NOT the children 😉).

It’s a lovely example of learning that doesn’t stop when the lesson ends: planting, observing, waiting, harvesting and finally tasting the results.

Science, nature, food, patience and a little bit of school tradition — all growing together.

Welcome to grade 3!

The first three weeks of grade 3 have been full of big smiles and busy hands! All the pupils have been working hard each day, eager to learn new things. Every day feels like an adventure!

During art class, the students were excited to discover different styles of making art. The children used mixed media and a combination of art materials.

The golden autumn sun made the leaves sparkle outdoors. It was time for our annual grape-picking field trip! The class walked down the hill to the sunny vineyard. Everyone picked sweet, juicy grapes straight off the vines and dropped them into small wooden baskets.

It was the perfect ending to a wonderful start of the school year.

Some lessons simply belong outdoors. 🍇

Our Elementary students have been harvesting grapes together — a traditional autumn activity, but also a wonderful opportunity to see how different areas of learning connect.

Science becomes something you can see and touch as children follow the journey from pollination to fruit. Maths has a real purpose when weighing the harvest and exploring net and gross weights. And working together to pick, carry, sort and weigh the grapes turns teamwork into something very practical indeed.

Then Grade 6 takes the learning a step further.

Shoes come off, trousers are rolled up, and the grapes are crushed in the traditional way. From there, students explore what happens next: observing and learning about the fermentation process and the science behind how grape juice changes over time.

It’s messy, memorable and rooted in tradition — connecting science, maths, teamwork and local culture through something children can actually experience for themselves.

At Castelli, learning doesn’t stop at the classroom door.

Our Grade 4 students have already jumped into learning! We’ve been busy with reading comprehension, spelling, maths and so much more.

We particularly enjoyed getting creative with our “stained” glass art activity and exploring the exciting world of technology during our ICT lessons.

It has been a fantastic start to the school year. We can already see that this is going to be an exciting year filled with learning, growth and success!

We can’t wait to see what the rest of the year brings.
