Dear Parents and Students,
We are about to start a new school year, and we cannot wait to see you again and to welcome our new students.
The beginning of September is always a special time: it brings expectations, questions, enthusiasm, and the desire to start a journey that will once again see us together as a community. Our school is not just a building that opens its doors: it is a community that shares a clear and profound educational vision. We believe that learning is never a linear path, but rather a weave of knowledge, emotions, and relationships that help each student discover who they are and who they want to become. This is why we work every day to build an environment that is both challenging and inspiring, welcoming and innovative, where every learner can feel encouraged to give their very best.
Our vision is founded on a few key pillars that guide all our choices: an openness to the wider world, because we want our students to grow as global citizens, capable of dialogue and collaboration beyond all boundaries; the fostering of creativity and critical thinking, because our aim is not only to educate good students, but also to nurture people who can face the future with courage and imagination; the thoughtful and responsible use of new technologies, which do not replace the educational relationship but rather enrich it, providing tools for learning in a more dynamic, personal, and engaging way.
This year, our journey is enriched by a new opportunity: joining the large international network of Nord Anglia schools, which share the same vision and values. This step will allow us to provide our students with even broader experiences and the opportunity to take an active role in a changing world.
At the heart of it all, however, remains our community. A school is truly effective only when families, students, and teachers walk together, with trust and awareness that education and growth are a shared responsibility. For this reason, we invite all of you parents to live this year as a collective journey, where every voice matters and every contribution is valuable.
With this spirit, we warmly welcome you. May the coming year be a time of discovery, growth, and enthusiasm—a year in which learning means not only acquiring new knowledge, but also experiencing the beauty of collaboration, building authentic relationships, and feeling part of something greater.
Caterina Pattanaro
