I find AOSR to be an authentic international school that offers IB/AP as well as the option of a dual italian/US curriculum starting in elementary school throughout middle school, rendering it unique for Rome. AOSR is working towards becoming one of the top international schools not only in Europe but also globally.

AOSR is our family’s second home since 2008 when my son entered in Grade 1.
Since the very first moment when we entered for the first time into the school premises for we entered for the Admission procedure, we had a positive and comfortable feeling that has never abandoned us over those 12 years.
Many things have changed into the school Community since then, my son has graduated last year, my daughter is currently attending Grade 10, two Head of School have changed, Principals have changed, new teachers have joined the school and others have left, new students and families have joined the school and others have moved, the school Community has changed and any single person we have met keeps a special place in our memory .
Despite changes, the school has never lost its core strengths: support and attention to each single student and to all members of the school Community, focus ... read full review

As a family that is always on the move, we were looking for a school that offered both an American and international curriculum so when we move again, the transition will be simple for our children. Our children were also excited about the campus and the variety of activities available.

I walked for the first time in AOSR in 1986 as a kindergartener and studied there until 8th grade. It has been my school for many years, the sense of community you feel accompanies you also when you leave. I realized that every time I spoke about AOSR I smiled, and thought it would have been the right school also for my son. At AOSR you grow in a real international enviroment, learning from different cultures you have the chance to grow as an open minded citizen of the world. Teachers are dedicated to the children and willing to communicate, they lead them in many ways. My son is happy every morning and is learning so much.. so I have to say AOSR thank you as a student and as a parent!

The entire school atmosphere at AOSR is a very enriching atmosphere the interaction between school administrators, teachers, parents and children is such a wonderful experience. Right away from the start of our school experience we realized this school was a relaxing and great educational facility that would allow our children to learn in an environment that also brought many extra curricular activities into their lives. Our children were also to be involved in cheer leading, soccer, football, basketball and many more activities!

As an international student in AOSR, I can confidently say that the school has helped me develop and establish who I am today and who I want to become tomorrow. The great support from teachers, students, and staff have welcomed me to the school 4 years ago and still support me everyday inside and outside school. The diverse and warm community in AOSR is what makes it so special, school events organized by teachers, clubs, and parents are very welcomed and supported by all. Classes' atmosphere are welcoming and personal, teachers have good relationships with their students even after school hours due to the small classes' size.
