Admissions

AOSR is a special place with its foundations in a strong, caring, and international community. There is no better place to be.

Discover a streamlined application experience at the American Overseas School of Rome - the leading American-International School in Rome.

Whether you're facing time constraints or planning ahead, we're here to support you. Our doors are open for applications year-round. To ensure your application receives prompt attention, we suggest submitting it at your earliest convenience. Our efficient rolling admissions process ensures applications are reviewed as soon as they're received.

While AOSR typically operates at or near capacity across most year levels, we strive to accommodate candidates whenever space permits. In cases where a particular year group is full, applicants will be placed on a waiting list, which is regularly updated. Prior to submitting an application, prospective parents are encouraged to reach out to the admissions office to inquire about availability. Our school community's global mobility continually creates new openings.
