International School of Como

In 2002 a group of parents were looking to provide an international education for their children and the families in the Como area. With a great deal of research and determination, they decided to open the International School of Como and they invited educators, teachers and many other experts to share in the development of this great initiative. During its first 14 years, IS Como has grown to stand for excellence and has contributed to the expansion of international education in Northern Italy, as one of the over 4 500 IB schools located worldwide. Since 2006, IS Como has been accredited by the International Baccalaureate Organisation for its Primary Years Programme (PYP). The school has well-established classes in the Early Years (Kindergarten, Transition and Grade 1 for children aged 2 to 5) and Elementary School (for children aged 6 to 11). In 2009 the International School of Como opened its Middle School and in 2014 received the accreditation for the Middle Years Programme (IB MYP). Since 2016/2017 High School was opened and candidacy for the Diploma Programme started.
