- The International School of Brescia is founded on the highest of educational standards and international values. It is a co-educational day school for kindergarten and primary school students (Italian and foreign, from 36 months and above). The IS Brescia is not a language school, but a school whose program is taught in English. Located in the municipality of Botticino, six kilometers from the heart of Brescia, it features an old-world charm counterbalanced by the latest in modern educational facilities. IS Brescia offers the Primary Years Programme and the Middle Years Programme of the International Baccalaureate Organization. Its internationally recognized curriculum is given in English with an additional 1 hour of the Italian language provided daily. A third language – Spanish – is offered to start from Grade 5. Limited class sizes and state-of-the-art Apple® One-to-One technology foster the development of inquiry-based learning and achievement. Housed within a former 17th-century Catholic seminary, IS Brescia’s appeal is all new. Full-sized classrooms, an indoor play area, library, dining facility, and outdoor play park provide a pleasant, enriching internationally-minded environment in which to learn and grow. Our educational approach is based on full immersion in the English language so that students can become bilingual. Being bilingual means having the capacity to use two languages competently without relying on translation from one language to another. The world-renowned researcher Barry McLaughlin explains in his work “Theories of second-language Learning” that constant and intensive exposure to a second language is the only real way to achieve bilingualism. When a child encounters a new foreign language, he or she will experience communication difficulties initially. During this time the child absorbs the new sounds of the language and begins to interpret the meaning of keywords and phrases used in the school environment. Once this fundamental vocabulary has been learned, the child will be able to interact verbally with other students and teachers, building confidence and making visible progress on a day-to-day basis. Brescia provides an ideal situation for children to improve their language skills and learn in an international environment. The International School of Brescia is dedicated to providing students with a culturally diverse, innovative international education. Our whole-student methodology encourages and empowers students to reach their full potential to become active, open-minded, lifelong learners and citizens of the modern world. At the International School of Brescia, we recognize that our students are global citizens-in-the-making, valued and vital assets to their families, the local community, and the greater world. Within a tolerant, multicultural environment, the intellectual, emotional, ethical, and physical development of our learners is fostered. As children learn how to learn, they accrue the necessary habits of mind, critical thinking skills, and social abilities to become collaborative contributors to their learning. The changing world requires a flexible, adaptable, interconnected outlook and a compassionate nature. At ISBrescia, we ensure the promotion of an international mindset within a supportive and encouraging academically challenging environment. The International School of Brescia stems from a partnership with the International School of Europe which, as well as running the International Schools of Milan, Monza, Modena, and Siena, has also been a key promoter of the International Schools of Bologna, Brescia, and Como. Alongside learning in English, the modern and innovative programs adopted by all ISE schools offer a challenging and stimulating curriculum. All curriculum is designed to generate value and enthusiasm for learning as a life-long process. View full school

The Università Degli Studi di Brescia was officially established in 1982 with three Schools: Medicine and Surgery, Engineering, Economics, and Business. However, the creation phase lasted nearly two decades, so the first attempts to open university courses in Brescia go back to the 1960s. The first initiative came from the Chamber of Commerce and the Provincial Administration, which opened negotiations in the early 1960s to set up a two-year course in Engineering as a branch of Politecnico di Milano. The excessive financial requirements caused the project to lapse. After this first attempt, the creation of the future Schools of Brescia moved along two distinct paths, one concerning the School of Economics, the other those of Engineering and Medicine.- The Università Degli Studi di Brescia was officially established in 1982 with three Schools: Medicine and Surgery, Engineering, Economics, and Business.
