Rome International School

The celebration of our Year 6 PYP learners continues!

The PYP Exhibition is an important event in the lives of the students in their final year of Elementary School. It is an exciting culmination to the learning across the Elementary years and marks the transition to the next stage of their educational experience.

Congratulations to all of our Year 6 students who are now able to put in practice all of the learning and skills developed in the Elementary School.

Happy Earth Day!
is considered by many to be the moment for impact. We are all accountable for the future of our planet. 🌎

✅As a school we are committed to embedding sustainability education in daily learning through the Eco Schools programme and educational partnership with WWF.

♻️From recycling initiatives to a rooftop garden, our Eco Council student committees are doing a fantastic job of taking action to raise awareness of environmental issues in our school community and beyond.

RIS has an excellent relationship with Flaminio Sporting Club where our Year 10 IGCSE students have been working hard to improve their swimming skills since September. We have now extended this provision so that students have the option of playing tennis too!

The rewarding four-year high school experience at RIS commences with the Cambridge IGCSE in the first two years and culminates with the globally recognised IB Diploma in years 12 and 13.

Congratulations to our Year 6 students for being such open-minded and knowledgeable communicators during the recent Primary Years Programme (PYP) Exhibition.

They did a wonderful job of presenting their Exhibition inquiries to the school community and informed us about a wide-range of topics, such as Animal Cruelty, Photography, Deforestation, Health and Wellness, Technology, Wormholes, Black Holes, Cooking, Engineering, Creative Writing and so much more!

This Exhibition process involves students exploring, documenting and sharing their understanding of an issue or opportunity of personal significance. It is a powerful journey of choice, honing skills, learning autonomously and taking responsibility and is an exciting culmination to a PYP education.

After a two-year hiatus our amazing Parent-Teacher Association is back with a Bake Sale!

This first fundraising event of the year will support a children's charity working in , Terre des Hommes Italia as well as the project, in collaboration with Amani Onlus.

The PTA aims to support a number of national and international initiatives with a focus on the education of disadvantaged children. We believe that access to education can empower future generations with the knowledge and skills to shape a better future as responsible global citizens.

This week we celebrate our wonderful Year 13 students who are enjoying the final days of school before the IB Diploma examinations. 💪 🍀

"We wanted to express our unity as a class through a colour that means something to us. Green is representative of the ecological journey we’ve embarked on as a class and hope to continue beyond our time in the school." Karen, Year 13

All the very best of luck to our Year 11 students who are starting their IGCSE Art and ICT practical exams this week! 🍀 💪🏼

Best of luck to our Year 12 IB students Gea, Allya and Anastasia who will be participating in the Model United Nations event today, hosted online by International School of Nice.

MUN is an academic simulation of the United Nations that aims to educate participants about current events, topics in international relations, diplomacy and the UN agenda. It is an engaging and character-building exercise for our students to nurture global perspectives and to develop their skills in public speaking, group communication, event organisation, negotiation and conflict resolution.

Today's IGCSE information session and subject fair was a perfect opportunity for Year 9 students and parents to learn more about the rewarding High School experience that awaits next year and provided a chance to better understand the subject options available in Years 10 and 11.

The Cambridge IGCSE programme at RIS is designed to provide a well recognised education for the first stage of High School and also prepares students for the acclaimed International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme offered in Years 12 and 13.

Today we celebrate our IB artists! The Visual Arts Exhibition is an important event that celebrates the high standards achieved by our most senior students and represents the culmination of two years of study as part of the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Programme. 🎓

Based on the ethos of the IB, the educational approach at RIS helps students to recognise and advance their natural talents in order achieve their full potential.

Eco Week is in full swing at RIS and at many Globeducate schools around the world! The aim of the event is to raise awareness about climate change and the little actions we can take daily that can contribute towards a better and more sustainable future. 🌱

Through the Eco-Schools programme and our commitment to nurturing global perspectives and global citizenship, we can empower students and the young professionals of the future to make a difference.

Following Year 6's successful experience, it was Year 5's turn to begin swimming lessons at Flaminio Sporting Club. Students were super excited and enthusiastic about this new adventure, which began by exploring a range of swimming techniques as well as other activities to improve their confidence in the water. Everyone did a great job, keep it up Year 5! 🙌
