Study at International
School in Genoa Italy
The International School in Genoa was founded in 1966 as a
private co-educational day school to serve the needs of the
international and national communities in Liguria. ISG offers a
complete American and International educational program in the
English language for all students from Preschool (age 3) to
Grade 12 (age 18) leading to the achievement of both The ISG
American Schools Diploma and The International Baccalaureate
Diploma. ISG is accredited with The European Council of
International Schools, The New England Association of Schools
and Colleges and is authorized to offer the International
Baccalaureate Diploma Programme. ISG integrates the host country
language to ensure that Italian nationals receive an effective
bilingual educational program and French and Italian as a second
language are offered for all students.
Purpose
The school's purpose is to share the culture of the host nation
and other nations to develop an international perspective and to
help the student prepare for life as a responsible member of a
global society. Classes are taught with an orientation towards a
global outlook. The school annually celebrates such occasions as
United Nations Day, Columbus Day and Thanksgiving, as well as
diverse cultural and national holidays, depending on the makeup
of the student body. The school is involved in Action Aid, a
school-wide program that develops an understanding of the Third
World and raises money to sponsor children in India and Africa
along with supporting other development projects.
Accreditation
The International School in Genoa is accredited by the Council
of International Schools (COIS, www.cois.org) and the New
England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC,
www.neasc.org). ISG received its most recent re-accreditation in
the spring of 2005.
The school was authorized by the International Baccalaureate
Organization (IBO, www.ibo.org) to teach its Diploma Programme
starting in April 2002. In June 2004 it graduated its first
International Baccalaureate Grade 12 Diploma Class. 100% of
ISG’s IB Diploma candidates have since earned their Diplomas,
many with outstanding results, and have gone on to study in
excellent universities in Italy, the rest of Europe, and the
United States.
