What we believe in
Villa Grimani has an educational environment which aims to provide the maximum in cultural and pedagogic opportunities, with the intention that pupils become capable of confronting, coping and adapting themselves to new circumstances in real life situations and grasping all opportunities open to them. Not forgetting that developing children need solid cultural and environmental reference points with which to construct their identity.
The educational philosophy at Villa Grimani International School is:
- To create a key to understanding reality, which provides students with a wider comprehension of the world as a whole, in its evolution and to help them, day by day, to discover their talents, develop their skills and at the same time, value diversities.
Creativity and practical experience are the key to stimulating students in all subjects and topics, facilitating the learning process with total involvement and understanding.
“If I listen I forget, if I see I learn, if I do I understand.” [Confucius]
- To offer the students the possibility to grow up with perfect bilingualism, within an independent, open and international education. The English language is not just our aim, but is, above all, the linguistic access to all subjects of the curriculum.The perspective offered to our children is the wider one of acquiring the linguistic means and the education appropriate to enlarging future professional choices, an indispensable opportunity to enter secondary schools and universities in any country, to be prepared to meet a variety of opportunities and possibilities waiting for them.
How to apply
It is possible to enrol your child at Villa Grimani at any point during the academic year providing there are spaces available. Children are accepted from Italian, foreign and international schools. They may be asked to sit an entry test and meet with staff on a few occasions to gage their level of English and to decide in which class they should be placed. Children entering with little or no English are given individual support from our support teachers in and out of the classroom.
