The teaching method at Smiling International School is student-centred, and our teachers work as a team to create a truly interdisciplinary curriculum, in line with European standards, to prepare students for a rapidly changing world.

Why do we Smile?
Dynamism
The school offers students numerous curricular and extracurricular activities. Our young students develop cross-disciplinary and soft skills, giving them an edge in the world of work!
Internationalisation
Smiling’s International teachers provide our students with a multicultural education that opens their minds and encourages them to look at the world in 360 degrees.
Scuola Paritaria Status
Smiling International School is recognized by the Italian Ministry of Education (MIUR). Both the high schools grant the student the Italian diploma di maturità (high school diploma) in 4 years.
Continuity
Our school welcomes pupils from 2 to 18 years old, which is why it is important for us to develop ‘vertical’ (whole school) projects and initiatives.
Bilingualism
All school courses are bilingual: English is the main language for teaching. The school gives equal importance to the Italian, through a personalised path of Italian L2 for foreign students.
An International Future
The International Language Certifications in English (Cambridge), Spanish (DELE) and Chinese (HSK) constitute a path towards success and open up numerous opportunities.
