| Qualities and characteristics best defining the school |
From birth to the age of 13, Rootes School accompanies girls and boys on a journey which entwines two cultures – Italian and Anglo-Saxon – through an innovative and bilingual teaching method. Rootes doesn’t teach content alone: Rootes teaches minds how to open, think critically and build relationships by providing the tools needed to face up to change. |
| Teaching approach of the school |
Growing up is a journey: each step leads to new conquests, new skills and new demands. From the earliest childhood to middle school, Rootes' curriculum goes in hand with each stage of development and unites the UK’s National Curriculum with the Italian. Each level of school is designed to nourish children’s natural curiosity and improve their potential, thereby making them more independent and flexible, and developing their critical thinking and collaborative spirit. |
