Dear Sir/Madam,
It is with great pleasure and excitement that I welcome you to Fulbright College, an American International School in Rome, ITALY. We hope you will be able to learn about our wonderful students, our school, and get a feel for the vibrancy and strength of our wider school community.
Fulbright College is one of the leading providers of education in the world and soon, we will be celebrating our 11th year anniversary in Italy. We provide education at all levels:
- Kindergarten
- Elementary
- Middle school
- Senior high school.
We aim to give every student in our care the very best possible education in order to prepare them for life beyond school. We are a ‘Learning Community’ which encourages staff, students, past students and parents to involve themselves fully in all aspects of school life and to identify themselves with its core values of Respect, Responsibility, Integrity, Cooperation and Achievement. Our school is large enough to provide a broad and differentiated curriculum that caters for varied interests and abilities.
Our vision of education extends far beyond the classroom. We encourage our students to involve themselves in the broad extra-curricular program. Learning here takes place in many shapes and forms. Students have the opportunity to participate fully on the sporting field, on the stage, in leadership activities, Vocational Education and Training courses and on the Debating platform.
We expect high standards in all that we do at Fulbright College. We encourage our students to aim high in their studies, to work hard and to be sensitive to the rights and needs of others.
Mission Statement
Our mission is to develop young men and women with active and creative minds, a sense of understanding and compassion for others, and the courage to act on their beliefs. We stress the total development of each child: spiritual, moral, intellectual, social, emotional, and physical. Fulbright College seeks to create a challenging learning environment that encourages high expectations for success through development-appropriate instruction that allows for individual differences and learning styles. Our school promotes a safe, orderly, caring, and supportive environment. Each student’s self-esteem is fostered by positive relationships with students and staff. We strive to have our parents, teachers, and community members actively involved on our students’ learning.
