International School of Como (ISCOMO)

When planning for a year, plant corn. When planning for a decade,
plant trees. When planning for life, train and educate people.

The children are the most precious resource within our community and we need to nurture them by providing the very best education possible.  We believe that this means offering a vibrant, innovative and rigorous education, aligned with the International Baccalaureate Primary Years and  Middle Years Programmes, along with the academic standards of the Italian ‘Programmi Ministeriali’. The IB curriculum inspires and challenges our students to develop a love of learning, and ensures that they have the knowledge, skills and values to cope with a rapidly changing and sometimes turbulent world. We aim to educate international minds, hearts and souls.

As part of our ‘community of learners’, your children will experience a warm and welcoming environment, and gain a sense of confidence from the caring  and professional staff working here at the school. Our teachers have a special way of relating to the students, their families and each other that conveys compassion, understanding, respect, interest, appreciation as well as high expectations and active participation in their learning.

Walk through our school and you will sense the feeling of belonging. This is another truth I have gained as a passionate educator. “Belonging” is another natural and basic need. At ISC we aim to give each child a place where trust, safety, ownership and constancy is guaranteed.
