Attending a high school in Italy gives students a head start on top universities, strong language skills, and an international network. Here's what families should know before applying to boarding or day schools.
- Curriculum options. Schools in Italy may offer national qualifications, the International Baccalaureate (IB), or A-Levels. The curriculum shapes which universities your child can progress to, so choose it with the end goal in mind.
- Boarding, guardianship & age. Consider boarding vs. day placement, guardianship requirements for younger students, entry ages, and the application assessments each school sets.
- Fees & scholarships. Tuition, boarding, and extras vary by school; some offer scholarships or bursaries. Budget for the full year, including uniforms, activities, and travel.
Dream Uni helps families compare high schools in Italy, understand each school's requirements, and complete a strong, on-time application.
