About

The American Overseas School of Rome (AOSR) comprises over 570 students, with approximately one-third from the United States, one-third from Italy, and the remainder from about 51 countries.

Admissions

Although the school accepts applications all year, early application in January/February for September entry is suggested due to space constraints. Individual applications received during the summer and school year will be considered on a case-by-case basis. Admission to middle and high school is based on transcripts, report cards, school documents, recommendation letters, and interviews. Students may be requested to take an English language proficiency and/or subject-level assessment. Click here to read more about the admissions process.
