Welcome to ICS Milan

Message from the Head of School.

Welcome to ICS Milan, a vibrant and inclusive international school located in the heart of one of Europe’s most dynamic cities.

At ICS Milan, we provide a high-quality international education rooted in respect, curiosity, and global engagement. As a paritaria school, we offer a recognised international schooling while meeting Italian national education standards. This enables students to pursue both international and national pathways and opens up a range of academic and professional possibilities.

Our curriculum is broad and rigorous and we follow the full International Baccalaureate (IB) continuum. Our nursery aligns with the Early Years Foundation Stage framework. In Early Years and Primary, learning is inquiry-driven and rooted in the IB Primary Years Programme* (PYP). In Secondary, students progress through the IB Middle Years Programme (MYP) while also preparing for IGCSEs, providing a strong foundation of knowledge and skills. This leads into the IB Diploma Programme (DP), recognised worldwide for academic excellence and preparation for university study. Our approach is holistic, inquiry-driven and student-centred, designed to develop confident, reflective learners who can engage meaningfully with the world around them.

Our students benefit from a supportive and internationally-minded community across three campuses, where we work in partnership with families to nurture academic excellence, emotional wellbeing, and a strong sense of character.

As part of the Globeducate family of schools, we promote the shared vision to prepare each student to become a global citizen who can shape the world. We strive to ensure that our students are prepared, principled and passionate about contributing to a better world.

Whether you are considering ICS Milan for your family or seeking to understand more about our educational approach, I warmly invite you to visit us. You will find a school community that is welcoming, ambitious, and deeply committed to learning.
