Foreigners who live in Italy can choose among many English speaking schools. It is not possible to say with certainty if they have a lower or higher level of education compared to Italian schools. Therefore, it is important to know what the student would like to do after terminating the cycle of study, if that kind of school is useful for him/her, and to verify in person if the single school of interest meets the expectations. There are also many English and American Colleges or Universities throughout the country, which are considered to be highly qualified. Read the list of English speaking schools in Rome!
1) English speaking schools in Italy
Foreigners who live in Italy can choose among many English speaking schools. These schools are mostly either British or American and, therefore, they follow respectively the British or American school system.
The English speaking schools that are located throughout Italy are private and, therefore, quite expensive. School programs, examinations, admissions, tuition fees, calendars (holidays), etc. vary from school to school and, thus, it is necessary to ask directly the school of interest for the information you need. The school year usually starts in September and ends in June.
It is not possible to say with certainty if they have a lower or higher level of education latu sensu (teachers, courses, subjects, tools, activities, care of each student, etc.) compared to private and public Italian schools. Both kinds of schools (English speaking/Italian schools) can be very highly qualified and, therefore, it is advisable to think deeply about what the student would like to do after terminating the cycle of study, if that kind of school is useful for him/her, and to verify in person if the single school of interest meets the expectations.
Obviously, what really makes the difference is the language. A foreign student who decides to enroll in an Italian school must have a good knowledge of the language, considering that all subjects are (generally) taught in Italian. Moreover, although English is a fundamental subject in almost every kind of Italian school, it is hard to say that Italian students terminate their cycle of study with a good level of knowledge of the English language.
2) English and American Colleges and Universities
There are also many English and American Colleges or Universities throughout the country. Most of the American Colleges and Universities in Italy are members of The Association of American College and University Programs in Italy (AACUPI) and are considered to be highly qualified. Many American Colleges/Universities have also developed several summer courses in the most important Italian cities, such as Rome, Milan, Florence, Turin or Pisa. Students can learn Italian and enjoy the Italian lifestyle and culture whilst studying in a very important English or American school.
In recent years some Italian Universities have set up several English speaking degree courses which award Bachelor’s or master’s degrees, for example in Economics, Political Science, Finance, Environmental, Food Economics, Industrial Chemistry, Human Resource, Labour Studies, Sustainable Development, Medical School, etc..
Here below a list of English speaking schools in Italy (more cities to come).

Is there any international school (English medium) in Venice for aged 15 above ?
Dear Amir,
Thank you for your question.
We have listed the international schools we know in Venice. The LICEO FOSCARINI IN VENICE could be the school you are looking for. You could try to contact them for more information.

Is there any schools in mogliano that teach English and Italian as we are thinking of moving there next year and my son is 7.
My husband and I always solve his potency problems with the help of Viagra. The result is excellent. However, we decided to switch the drug to try something new. My husband saw an ad about Cialis pills for ED from Cial online supplements for men. So, it turned out that this drug had a duration of action more than a day and without any side effects. Now we use Cialis only.
Is there a english speaking high school near Mantua? Please let me know as soon as possible.

Good afternoon, Please do you know if there is any english speaking school in Ventimiglia or nearby ? thank you in advance for your answer
Unfortunately, I do not.
I am sorry.
David, this is a great list! Thank you. Wondering whether there are any options in Sicily? Grazie mille.
Are there English schools close to Valdagno or Cornedo. Kids ages 10 and 12. Can you send me list of school fees.
Juanita,
it seems that there are no international or English schools in Valdagno. However, in the near Vicenza, there is the H-International School Vicenza which offers nursery, elementary and middle school. You will need to ask the school you are interested in for tuition fees.
Regards.
Dear David
Thanks for providing this list.
Any similar senior schools in South Italy or Sicilia?
Grazie mille.

I believe there is an International School opening in Bari this upcoming year.. keep your eyes peeled.
Hi there,
Im Looking at moving to Perugia, closest to gubbio. I have 3 kids from 2-11 all English speaking – are there ANY English speaking schools near here as I can’t find any ☹️ please help!!!
Not that I know now. I will let you know if I find any
David,
First, this list (and your overall knowledge) is incredible.
I am an American seeking to teach in Italy – but I am REALLY struggling finding any schools that will hire a non-EU citizen (which is unfortunate, as I view International schools as being “multi-cultural” but that seems to not be the case in Italy…perhaps because of the dreaded bureaucracy?)
By chance, do you know of any schools that welcome American teachers?
Thank you in advance.
Dear Natalie,
Thank you for your query.
As regards teaching in Italy, please note that there are various opportunities for free-lancers and thousands of American, Canadian, Australian, New Zealand and even some South African teachers of English working throughout Italy. Some do private tutoring, others teach university or high school conversation courses and many work for businesses that offer English courses to their employees.
So basically, what you need to do is choose where you want to work and then start searching.
Best of luck, D
Do you know of any english speaking schools in Bologna that aren’t that expensive? The International School of Bologna is way too pricey for me. Thank you!
