The St. Louis School is an international school, catering for up to 600 students. It is a member of ECIS, the European Council of International Schools and has been granted the official status of Scuola Primaria Paritaria by the Italian Authorities.

The St. Louis School aims to:

• provide a high standard of education through an appropriately structured curriculum which aims to meet the needs of each individual child
• develop students' natural curiosity and maintain their love of learning and enjoying all subjects including music and sports
• help students to develop a code of values and principles which will enable them to become responsible adults later in life
• teach students to show respect for others and for the environment
• create a stimulating, caring and safe environment for the children at school

Our teaching approach is based on the principles behind modern British education:

• schools should help students to learn and develop a child's natural abilities
• children learn by experience and not by being lectured at
• each child has his or her own personal learning pace and relevant needs and should consequently be encouraged to produce his or her best.

The school is set in a modern building southeast of Milan and has a large outdoor play and sports area. It has its own bus service and is close to public transport.
