A Pathway to Success

Our Mission

As a school, it is our mission to nurture curious and internationally-minded learners striving for a world without frontiers.

Our Core Principles

Our H.E.A.R.T. principles guide us as we pursue our vision as teachers, learners and families.

Happy Learners

We value a safe and caring environment, where wellbeing is prioritised and all learners are included in a holistic and personalised approach.

Experiential Learners

We value learning which is driven by inquiry and where learning experiences integrate technology and action mindfully.

Ambitious Learners

We value the agency of learners and help develop their resilience on the journey to achieving the highest standards.

Respectful Learners

We value a community which is based on respect where we are caring towards ourselves, others and our environment.

Thoughtful Learners

We value the development of creative and critical thought and the nurturing of transferable skills for a complex and interconnected future.

Our Ambitious and Globally Recognised Curriculum

All students from Kindergarten to Grade 13 follow the globally recognised IB continuum. Designed by experts in international education, the curriculum provides leading preparation for achievement in both formal assessments and, beyond school, in a highly competitive, ever-changing world.

The IB continuum consists of three programmes:

Primary Years Programme (PYP)
Middle Years Programme (MYP)
Diploma Programme (DP)

Not only do these programmes build naturally on each other, but as learners progress through each year group, they gain critical skills and personal qualities that support excellence and lead to success beyond school – including at university and in their future careers.

We are excited to announce that the International School of Monza is a candidate school* seeking authorisation for the International Baccalaureate (IB) Career-related program. We are now a candidate school for the program and intend to launch this opportunity for the 2025-2026 academic year. The IBCP allows us to broaden our academic offerings and offer even greater personalisation and flexibility to our students as they are completing their final two years of secondary school.

*Only schools authorized by the IB Organization can offer any of its four academic programmes: the Primary Years Programme (PYP), the Middle Years Programme (MYP), the Diploma Programme (DP), or the Career-related Programme (CP). Candidate status gives no guarantee that authorization will be granted.
