Ambrit Rome Philosophy and Objectives

 School atrium - an indoor piazza

Ambrit Rome provides an international education for students from multicultural backgrounds. The school's programmes of study and activities aim to develop the cognitive, aesthetic, physical, social and emotional growth of the whole child. We encourage awareness and understanding of different cultures. Inherent in this process is an appreciation of Italy, its language and its culture.

The scope of the curriculum is designed to maintain high standards of academic learning and to help each child reach his/her greatest potential in a stimulating and caring environment. Children are encouraged to develop a sense of identity, self-esteem and independence. We strive to provide an interdisciplinary curriculum that allows the child to make meaningful connections across subject areas using an inquiry approach. Our classroom activities aim to provide opportunities for cooperative and experimental learning. We aim to emphasise process oriented skills and the communicative importance of language. Children are taught to respect others, their natural environment, and to develop an awareness of global issues through school and community service activities.

Cooperation amongst parents, staff, students and the community is actively encouraged. Students leave Ambrit with an appreciation of different cultures and the tools to become life-long learners.
