We are a bilingual international primary school with classes from Nursery to Year 9, idyllically positioned between Ostia’s seafront and pinewood.
OIS offers a completely bilingual curriculum taught by qualified mother tongue teachers in a positive and stimulating environment.
We celebrate childrens’s talents and individuality and work as a team to ensure every child reaches their personal best.
Our Bilingual Programme
The truly bilingual programme begins in Year 2 following the Foundation Stage, which is taught exclusively in English. Subjects are taught in both languages following a 60/40 ratio in the first two years of school with English being the dominant language. This changes to a 45/55 ratio in the last three years. In addition to the core subjects, our art, music and physical education lessons are taught in Italian.
The students’ progress is regularly assessed, including through formal standardized national tests from both countries, the results of which re-confirm the great advantages of bilingual education.
