School Notes

School Motto: Niente Senza Gioia! Nothing Without Joy! Nada Sin Alegría!
School Mascot: Wolf

The world is a beautiful combination of cultures, ideas, environments, people, and perspectives. Our learning should match that openness and richness, expanding our minds, connecting our hearts, and elevating our spirits. Boundless learning requires this novel approach, pulling from the world's most uplifting educational ideas to create something uniquely effective.
At La Scuola International School, we use the critical thinking and connectivity of the International Baccalaureate Program to open our minds. The Reggio Emilia Approach is our heart, encouraging the care and expressiveness that leads to lifelong joy. And Italian language immersion spirits us into a wider, more wonderful world. By building on these uniquely integrated frameworks, we create space for boundless learning and eagerly meet the world as it actually is.
