| Teaching approach of the school |
The International Baccalaureate (IB) provides an overarching framework. The Reggio Emilia Approach shapes our image of the child, the role of the environment as the third teacher, and our belief that each learner has more than one hundred languages of expression. As for the third pillar, La Scuola International School has developed an instructional approach in which language immersion and bilingual education is situated within the Reggio philosophy and grounded in the IB framework.
