Istituto Santa Giuliana Falconieri is a private international school in Rome offering a comprehensive educational path from Infanzia (nursery) through Liceo (high school). It is an accredited Cambridge International School that integrates the Italian national curriculum with a bilingual program taught by native English-speaking teachers.

Teaching approach

Founded in 1941 by the Congregation of the Mantellate Servants of Mary, the school is guided by a mission of service, love, and the belief that the individual is the 'supreme good.' The educational approach emphasizes education, knowledge, and responsibility, aiming to form students who are both Italian citizens and active members of an international society. The school fosters a collaborative environment where religious and lay staff work together to prepare students for the challenges of a rapidly changing world.

Programmes

The school offers a vertical Cambridge International curriculum alongside the Italian national program. The Infanzia section features a 'Special English Project' with native speakers, music, and theater. The Primaria and Medie sections continue this bilingual approach, with the latter incorporating 'Classi 2.0' digital learning. The Liceo Internazionale offers four tracks: Classico (with English enhancement), Scientifico Scienze Applicate (focusing on Math, Physics, Science, and IT), Linguistico Moderno (English, Spanish, French), and Linguistico Giuridico-Economico (English, Spanish, Law, and Economics).

Outcomes

Students have the opportunity to earn internationally recognized qualifications, including Cambridge IGCSE, Cambridge International AS & A Level, and the Cambridge ICE Diploma, which is recognized by major universities such as Harvard, MIT, and Stanford. In the middle school, students take Cambridge Checkpoint exams, and language certifications such as KET, PET, and DELE (for Spanish) are available. The school also serves as an accredited ECDL Test Center, allowing students to obtain the European Computer Driving Licence.
