International School Brescia opened its doors in 2009 with one single class of students. Over the years the school has grown, achieving authorisation for the IB Primary Years Programme, then the IB Middle Years Programme and finally the world-renowned IB Diploma Programme. As an IB continuum school we have refined a curriculum that takes a learner from the first experiences of understanding the world at age 3 with a child-centred, holistic programme of learning, through a concept-based inquiry curriculum in the middle years and finally to achieving a high quality and rigorous IB Diploma.
Our student body comprises a mix of students from all over the world, united in their quest for an international education. As a non-selective school we welcome students from all educational backgrounds and work with them to support, guide and challenge them to reach their own potential.
ISB teaching staff come from all over the world and bring with them their own cultural and educational experiences. We are part of the Association of IB World Schools in Italy, which fosters and cultivates collaboration between IB schools in Italy, and also recognised by the World Academy of Sport as an Athlete Friendly Education Centre for the way in which we support our young student athletes to continue with their education, whilst performing at a high level.
ISBrescia opened its doors with a small cohort of primary students. We were authorised as an IB World School for the Primary Years Programme for students aged 3 to 11. Since then, we have grown both in terms of experience and student numbers, successfully passing an IB Evaluation Visit. In 2020, we moved from Botticino to Bedizzole, providing our students with more space and improved facilities in which to learn and discover.
With a focus on the whole student and a programme that combines standards of academic excellence with varied extra-curricular opportunities throughout the school year, ISBrescia aims to give students of all cultures and identities a global outlook while developing concrete and strong foundations in themselves and their communities.
Our nurturing and experienced team of international teachers provide enriching and stimulating learning experiences, guiding our young students to reflect on their learning and the world around them.
I look forward to welcoming you and your family to visit us, discover more about ISB, and become part of our community.
