Lonati Anglo-American School (LAAS) is a private educational institution serving the needs of Italian and foreign students within the region of Lombardy and the province of Brescia in northern Italy. LAAS is an International Baccalaureate World School offering the Primary Years Programme (Kindergarten to Grade 6). Our Early Years and Elementary School is also legally acknowledged by the Ufficio Scolastico Regionale per la Lombardia and approved as Scuola "NON-PARITARIA" legally recognized by MIUR. The school provides an international education in English for students from three to eleven years of age with standards and values of the highest quality.
The school offers an independent course of studies that prepares students with the knowledge and skills to meet the future. Classes are specially designed to guide and instruct students for successful completion of Primo Esame di Stato (EX Esame terza media – the Italian state exam for Italian students). In addition, students participate in the LAAS Personal Investigation Project (PIP) and sit for both the Cambridge Preliminary (PET) and Instituto Cervantes Spanish-language examinations.
The world needs well-rounded, informed, adaptable, internationally-minded thinkers and doers. At LAAS we recognize this. It is our responsibility to provide a foundation of learning to serve society. To that end, we support and encourage in our students the development of values, attitudes, skills, and habits of mind with the noble view that the world can and will be made better through education.
Trust, legitimacy, and growth. These are the fundamental qualities parents seek in an educational institution for their children. Since 2013, with every new enrollment, LAAS has focused on offering parents this peace of mind. Just as it has done with other educational institutions which bear its name, the board of Lonati Anglo-American School endorses its commitment to parents with a pledge that – in Italian society especially – means placing one’s integrity on the line: Il Vostro nome è una garanzia, or your name is a guarantee.
At LAAS, our enthusiasm and drive for excellence are at the root of our motivation, and our work involves the dedication that supports a legacy. Year to year, LAAS concentrates its energy on serving the needs of its students, their parents, and families. We provide and provide a facility of the highest distinction. We hire, resource, and retain qualified international staff. LAAS implements a well-designed curriculum that focuses on the disciplines of language, mathematics, science, social studies, the arts, and personal, social, and physical education. Additionally, the school involves itself within its community and across the globe with other schools, organizations, and foundations that share the fundamental educational view that learning is a gift, a treasure, and a necessity in an increasingly competitive and interconnected modern world.
Lonati Anglo-American School welcomes you to our growing family. LAAS is a colorful and lively school where students, parents, teachers, and staff come together with a focus on and dedication to excellence in education. An array of nationalities and cultures is represented at LAAS, offering an international atmosphere that promotes knowledge, personal growth, and the greater good within our school community and the wider world.
