The American Overseas School of Rome is an independent, coeducational day school for students of all nationalities from pre-kindergarten through grade 13. The School was founded in 1947. The school year comprises 2 semesters extending from the beginning of September through mid-January and from mid-January through mid-June.

Organization: The School is governed by a 12-member Board of Trustees that is elected by the parents or guardians of children enrolled in the School. The School is recognized as a non-profit institution under Italian law and is incorporated in the State of Delaware as tax-exempt under Section 501(c) (3) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code.

Curriculum: The curriculum is that of U.S. general academic, college-preparatory public or private schools. The School offers both the Advanced Placement and the International Baccalaureate programs. The School's testing program includes the College Board's PSAT, SAT/ACH, and Advanced Placement tests, as well as the full complement of IB examinations. Instruction is in English. French, Spanish, Mandarin, Chinese, and Italian are taught as foreign languages. There is no religious instruction. The School is accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools and is the first school to be granted an International Credential from the Middle States Association. Italian students prepare for the quinta, prima, seconda and terza media exams.
