Marymount International School, Rome

Founded in 1946, Marymount is a private, Catholic, co-educational day school that seeks to nurture students' unique talents as a whole. It is part of a global network of 19 RSHM schools and is committed to intellectual growth, mutual respect, and responding to the needs of the local and global community. The school aims to guide students of diverse cultural and religious backgrounds toward achieving their full potential.

The school offers an American international program of studies inspired by the International Baccalaureate (IB) philosophy, leading to an American High School Diploma. Students may pursue the IB Diploma Programme and Advanced Placement (AP) courses. The academic continuum spans from Early Childhood through High School, with specialist instruction in music, art, physical education, library, Italian, and technology.

The school employs a Director of Specialist Learning and school psychologists to support student needs. Additionally, some student placements may be contingent upon the provision of a one-to-one assistant during school hours, the cost of which is billed to the family. Advisory programs and "Approaches to Learning" workshops are also utilized to support students' personal, emotional, and academic development.

Marymount accepts applications year-round, though early application in January or February is recommended for September entry. The admissions process requires a completed application form, health form, teacher and principal recommendations, and school reports from the previous two years. Following a review of these materials, the Head of School informs parents of the final decision. Admission to Early Childhood requires children to meet specific age cut-offs by October 31st.

The school year runs from early September to late June. The school operates Monday through Friday, with hours from 8:30 am to 3:20 pm for Early Childhood through Kindergarten, and 8:20 am to 3:30 pm for Grades 1–12. After-school activities typically run until 4:45 pm for Elementary and 4:55 pm for Secondary students.

The school is situated on a 40-acre campus in northern Rome’s Veio Park, featuring playgrounds, outdoor sports courts, and expansive lawns. The campus provides a safe, peaceful setting for academic and extracurricular pursuits, with facilities designed to support a variety of disciplines. Students have access to these grounds year-round for recess, sports, and study breaks.

Students participate in a wide range of activities, including student councils, the House System, and various student clubs. Leadership opportunities are provided through the National Honor Society, the National Junior Honor Society, Model United Nations, and annual RSHM Leadership Conferences. Service-oriented initiatives include the Abana Project for Zambia, food drives, and CAS projects for the IB Diploma Programme.
