The American Overseas School of Rome (AOSR) is the international school in Rome shaping every day around three commitments: Think, Act, Thrive. As an American international school offering both IB Diploma and AP pathways, AOSR serves families from 60 nationalities across Pre-K through Grade 12. Our approach reflects the best of American education while building the independent thinking, leadership skills, and global perspective your child needs for university and adult life.

THE AOSR STRATEGIC PLAN

AOSR offers the best of an American-International education in a supportive and rigorous learning environment. We inspire our diverse student body to courageously meet the demands of a changing world.

Three pillars shape how we teach, how students lead, and how families belong. Each pillar is a commitment with measurable proof.

What happens when learning moves beyond the classroom? Our AP Biology students recently stepped into the laboratories of EMBL Rome through a new partnership with Adamas Scienza, giving them hands-on experience with gene modification and cellular mechanics in a real research environment.

Proof, not promises.

Every claim above stands on evidence you see and verify on campus.

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the school for giving my two daughters the opportunity to study at such an excellent educational institution. The atmosphere and environment of the school are outstanding. The teachers are very friendly and supportive, not only toward my daughters but also toward myself as a parent. I have always been able to communicate with the school easily and at any time, which has helped me greatly to understand and stay engaged with my daughters’ education. Various activities, such as the May Fair, have allowed my family and me to actively participate in the school community and to share our food and culture with other parents and students. I would like to sincerely thank the teachers and staff who have taken such good care of us and provided my daughters with valuable and positive experiences. My heartfelt thanks go to Ms. Tiffany, Ms. Elison, Ms. Susan, Dr. Dematteo, Ms. Fiore, and all other teachers on this occasion.

Strategy is for boards. Outcomes are for families. Here is the direct mapping.

  • Powerful Learning (Think) is strategic instruction that inspires students to discover purpose, exercise agency, and develop the knowledge, skills, and dispositions they need to thrive into adulthood, reflecting the best of an American approach to education. 
  • Student Agency (Act) includes choice in learning, having an active role in the civic life of the school, and developing the capacity to offer a thoughtful voice on issues of importance within the community. University readiness is treated as one outcome within a broader framework focused on adaptability, reflection, and long-term success.
  • Student Wellbeing (Thrive) is a focus on all aspects of student health, both inside and outside the classroom, shaped by the strong community culture, where relationships and belonging support student growth and wellbeing.

At AOSR, Robotics gives students the chance to think critically, solve real problems, and work as part of a team from an early age. Students design, test, fail, rebuild, and improve through hands-on learning that mirrors real-world challenges. This directly supports AOSR’s strategic direction: Think, Act, Thrive. In a school community representing more than 60 nationalities, Robotics also strengthens collaboration across cultures while preparing students for future pathways in engineering, technology, design, and innovation. Programs like Robotics reflect a school with clear direction and a focus on purposeful learning.

Experience AOSR firsthand.

A 45-minute campus visit shows you the three pillars in motion. Walk our halls. Meet our teachers. Talk to our students.

A school's strategic story matters when families see the work lived out on campus. AOSR's three pillars are not a slogan. They show up in classrooms where teachers ask better questions, in student-led councils where teenagers own real outcomes, and in advisory groups where every child knows at least one adult by name. The American Overseas School of Rome welcomes families ready to give their child a clear direction for the long term. Book your campus visit and see Think, Act, Thrive in motion.
