Istituto Massimiliano Massimo

As a Catholic school belonging to the Jesuit Education Network, the institution is inspired by Ignatian pedagogy. Its mission is to foster the growth of global citizens who possess critical thinking skills, a strong sense of service, and a commitment to the common good. The school promotes values of solidarity, respect for diversity, and environmental responsibility, notably through its participation in the international 'Eco-Schools' program.

The school provides a complete educational pathway including Scuola dell’Infanzia, Scuola Primaria, Scuola Secondaria di 1° grado, and three high school tracks: Liceo Classico, Liceo Scientifico, and Liceo Scientifico Sportivo. The curriculum features a strong emphasis on languages, with 50% of daily lessons in English for the Infanzia level and intensive English and Spanish instruction in higher grades. The school is a Cambridge International School, offering IGCSE courses in subjects such as Biology, Geography, and Business Studies, alongside preparation for IELTS and DELE certifications.

The school aims to form 'men and women for and with others' who are competent, critical, and socially responsible leaders. Graduates are prepared for international university paths, with the school serving as a recognized center for Cambridge IGCSE, ESOL, and IELTS certifications, which facilitate access to major global universities including those in Australia, the UK, and the US. Students are encouraged to develop a strong sense of global citizenship, intercultural competence, and a commitment to service.

The school emphasizes a 'cura personalis' (personal care) approach, placing students and their individual needs at the center of its educational action. It provides spiritual guidance through personal colloquia and collaborates with the Centro Astalli to support refugee-related educational projects. Furthermore, the school offers scholarships through the 'Giovani, Leadership e Futuro' initiative to increase inclusivity and support students who may face economic barriers.

The school accepts applications for both internal students and those transferring from other institutions. To formalize enrollment, parents must submit completed and signed modules to the Didactic Secretariat and, for transfer students, provide previous report cards and a clearance certificate (nulla osta) from their former school. The Secretariat is open for public inquiries on weekdays from 8:00-10:00 and 12:00-13:30, excluding Saturdays.

The school operates on a general academic calendar for the 2026/2027 year, which includes various cultural, sporting, and formative events. The academic year is punctuated by specific milestones, such as Cambridge examination dates in May and the suspension of Sunday Eucharistic celebrations during the summer break. Detailed schedules for each school level—Infanzia, Primaria, Secondaria di 1° grado, and Licei—are available through the school's official documentation.

The campus is located at Via M. Massimo, 7, in Rome. It features specialized spaces such as a library, an auditorium (Sala Francesco Saverio), and various laboratories for technology and science. The school also maintains dedicated areas for sports and communal activities, reflecting its historical roots while providing modern educational environments.

The school offers a wide range of extracurricular activities including sports, music, theater, and volunteering. The ASD Massimo, active since 1991, manages afternoon sports programs, while theater laboratories are available for students in the middle school and high school levels. Additionally, students participate in international projects such as the Model United Nations (MUN) and various technology-focused courses, including robotics, 3D printing, and drone operation.
