St. Francis International School is an independent, co-educational school
at the service of the international community in Rome. We aim to offer
an education which will enrich the lives of our students and form young
people who are sure of themselves, honest, and responsible in their relationship
with others, as well as provide a sound foundation on which to build.
PROSPECTUS
Our school is divided into Early Childhood, Primary and Middle School.
Classes are kept to a comfortable size to enhance the students' own interpersonal
contacts with each other and with their teachers, and to ensure that each
child's learning experience is both stimulating and fulfilling. The average
class has 18 students.
CURRICULUM
It is based on the American system of education and structured to meet
the needs of the international student. We prepare children for British
and American secondary schools. Drama, music and physical education complement
the core subjects.
FACULTY
Certified and highly qualified teachers from Canada, US, UK and Australia
form the teaching body. Specialists teach drama, music, physical education
and Italian. Qualified help is available for children with special needs.
LOCATION & FACILITIES
The school , situated in the northwest of Rome, is housed in a purpose-built
facility and is fully equipped with a library, two large cafeterias, a
gymnasium, a computer room, an assembly room, thirteen classrooms, a multi-purpose
room, basketball courts, a theatre, and an extensive play area - the Early
Childhood has its own purpose-designed playground.
EFL (English as a Foreign Language)
Special tuition is provided daily for students with low English proficiency.
These lessons provide a basic introduction to the English language, and
extra help with mainstream subjects.
EXTRA CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES
A variety of activities are available between 3:30 to 4:30 in the afternoons:
they include dance and movement, volleyball, basketball, music, piano,
