Our staff work together with children's individual psychologists in order to tailor individual programs and learning needs. We create formal documentation for all children and personalised curriculum overviews.

Students with learning needs are offered different types of support to help them succeed. They may receive help from support teachers who provide extra instruction or adapt lessons to fit their needs. Some students have individualized education plans that outline specific goals and strategies. In the classroom, teachers use differentiated instruction, extra time for tasks, and learning tools such as computers or visual aids. The main goal is to make sure every student can learn effectively and feel confident in their abilities.

Teachers provide challenging activities and extension tasks to help these students go beyond the regular curriculum when all other work is complete. They may work on independent projects or do extra work related to a given topic. Teachers also encourage them to think critically and solve complex problems. The goal is to keep gifted students motivated and engaged while helping them reach their full potential.

Villa Grimani International School offers an education for children as young as one year of age up to and including middle school age.

Teaching has a multi-sensory approach in the Early Years classes which then develops into a complete multidisciplinary education with languages and multiculturalism at its core.

The pupils at VGIS are taught all subjects in English, combining both the English and Italian National Curriculums therefore teaching a complete range of subjects.
