Who we are​

Rome International Schools' Association

The Rome International Schools’ Association (RISA) was founded in 1974 by two international school principals in Rome, who saw the need for intra-school communication and collaboration in the academic and non-academic spheres. In 1974 five international schools set up rules which formulated the association. The first inaugural conference was hosted by the F.A.O. in October of 1974, where 13 schools were represented. Since then, RISA has held intra-school sports, art shows, teacher workshops and conferences.

The schools are of varying sizes and offer different combinations of levels from pre-school through to secondary. The schools all share these common factors:

Independent of any state system

Students and faculty drawn from a number of nations

The sole or major language of instruction is English
