The Becoming Education model<\/h2>\n

We believe that every child thrives best when they have meaningful experiences, genuine relationships<\/strong> and an environment that nurtures their natural curiosity<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

It is precisely this curiosity that we turn into the drive to learn<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Our educational model is based on solid pedagogical principles<\/strong>, backed up by neuroscience: we learn best through hands-on experience<\/strong>, by experiencing positive emotions<\/strong>, and by sharing the journey<\/strong> with our classmates.<\/p>\n

That is why we have created an environment where emotions and learning go hand in hand<\/strong>.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”50″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” el_class=”box-affiancati waypoint-trigger”][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”347″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” css=”” el_class=”immagine fade fade__alt fade–sx no-margin-bottom”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1785933615839{background-color: #F7F7F7 !important;}” el_class=”testo fade fade__alt fade–dx no-margin-bottom giallo-sfondo-pieno”]Our programme is bilingual in Italian and English and embraces multilingualism with the study of German, supporting students\u2019 growth through continuity between Primary and Middle School. We combine the Inquiry-Based Learning<\/strong> approach and active teaching methods with the National Curriculum Guidelines<\/strong>, following a spiral model<\/strong>: concepts are revisited over time and explored in greater depth to transform into practical skills.<\/p>\n

Studying is not an end in itself, but aims to build a solid foundation on which to grow<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

At OIS, children and young people grow up in a welcoming and stimulating environment<\/strong>. The spaces encourage social interaction and make every child feel like a key player. OIS teachers work as a close-knit team, co-designing interdisciplinary pathways that adapt to the needs of the group.<\/p>\n

Families are our allies. We believe that schools and parents should work together<\/strong>, sharing experiences and educational goals.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”50″][vc_raw_html css=”” el_class=”no-margin-bottom”]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[\/vc_raw_html][vc_empty_space height=”50″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” el_class=”verde-sfondo border-radius-sezione-top border-radius-sezione-bottom”][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”50″][vc_column_text css=”” el_class=”no-margin-bottom”]<\/p>\n

The foundations<\/strong><\/h2>\n

At the heart of our approach<\/h3>\n

We turn children\u2019s natural curiosity into a drive to learn. Meaningful experiences, meaningful relationships and an environment that nurtures each child\u2019s individuality: that is how we truly grow.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″][vc_column_text css=”” el_class=”border-radius-40 no-margin-bottom box-descrittivo”]<\/p>\n

A bilingual school with an international focus<\/h3>\n

OIS is a bilingual Italian school with a strong international focus. The curriculum ensures that the objectives set out in the Ministerial Guidelines are met through active teaching methods.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1785933665490{background-color: #FFFFFF !important;}” el_class=”border-radius-40 no-margin-bottom box-descrittivo”]<\/p>\n

Multilingual Curriculum<\/h3>\n

Italian and English are taught side by side every day, as part of a structured programme that takes pupils from Primary School through to Middle School, culminating in recognised international qualifications. The programme is further enriched by German, which is introduced as early as Primary School and leads to Goethe-Institut qualifications in Middle School.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”50″][vc_raw_html css=”” el_class=”no-margin-bottom”]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[\/vc_raw_html][vc_empty_space height=”50″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” el_class=”giallo-sfondo border-radius-sezione-top border-radius-sezione-bottom”][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”50″][vc_column_text css=”” el_class=”no-margin-bottom”]<\/p>\n

How we learn every day<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Active approaches that put children at the centre[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”50″][vc_row_inner equal_height=”yes”][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1785933696233{background-color: #FFFFFF !important;}” el_class=”border-radius-40 no-margin-bottom box-descrittivo”]<\/p>\n

Learning together<\/h3>\n

Peer Education and Cooperative Learning: learning together is more effective. Small-group work, peer tutoring, collaboration.<\/p>\n

Sometimes a concept is easier to understand when a classmate explains it.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1785933733475{background-color: #FFFFFF !important;}” el_class=”border-radius-40 no-margin-bottom box-descrittivo”]<\/p>\n

Interdisciplinary design<\/h3>\n

Interdisciplinary design is at the heart of the OIS programme. It broadens students\u2019 horizons and keeps them engaged. Their knowledge grows over time, deepens and develops into practical skills.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1785933750382{background-color: #FFFFFF !important;}” el_class=”border-radius-40 no-margin-bottom box-descrittivo”]<\/p>\n

Active and inquiry-based learning<\/h3>\n

We don\u2019t just listen: we do, we try, we build. We start with curiosity, not with answers. Questions \u2192 Research \u2192 Verification \u2192 Synthesis.<\/p>\n

The children take centre stage and develop their own way of learning.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1785933772414{background-color: #FFFFFF !important;}” el_class=”border-radius-40 no-margin-bottom box-descrittivo”]<\/p>\n

Teachers make all the difference<\/h3>\n

A close-knit team, united by a shared vision. They design the programme themselves, with passion and expertise.<\/p>\n

Thanks to the Becoming Academy, teachers keep up to date with innovative teaching methods, emotional intelligence and inclusion.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner el_class=”border-radius-40 img-mobile img-mobile–verticale-2-3″ width=”1\/3″ css=”.vc_custom_1780927583220{margin-right: 15px !important;margin-bottom: 50px !important;margin-left: 15px !important;background-image: url(https:\/\/devel.hostconsulting.it\/ois\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/ois-come-si-impara.webp?id=349) !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”50″][vc_raw_html css=”” el_class=”no-margin-bottom”]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[\/vc_raw_html][vc_empty_space height=”50″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” el_class=”blu-sfondo border-radius-sezione-top border-radius-sezione-bottom”][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”50″][vc_column_text css=”” el_class=”no-margin-bottom”]<\/p>\n

Growing as people<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Emotional and social skills (SEL)<\/h3>\n

Emotional and social development is an integral part of the educational programme at OIS.<\/p>\n

Through cooperative learning, drama, group work and daily dialogue with teachers and the educational psychologist, pupils learn to recognise their own emotions, build positive relationships and resolve conflicts respectfully.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1785933817971{background-color: #FFFFFF !important;}” el_class=”border-radius-40 no-margin-bottom box-descrittivo”]<\/p>\n

Formative assessment<\/h3>\n

Let\u2019s focus on the journey, not just the outcome. Formative assessment ensures that each student\u2019s progress is continuously monitored by evaluating their starting point, effort and progress.<\/p>\n

It also enables teachers to review and adjust activities to ensure that the expected learning outcomes are achieved.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1785933830628{background-color: #FFFFFF !important;}” el_class=”border-radius-40 no-margin-bottom box-descrittivo”]<\/p>\n

Potential orientation<\/h3>\n

We help young people to develop an awareness of themselves and how they function: recognising their aptitudes and strengths, understanding the causes of their mistakes, and building independence.<\/p>\n

This awareness becomes a personal roadmap that extends beyond the choice of secondary school.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1785933845863{background-color: #FFFFFF !important;}” el_class=”border-radius-40 no-margin-bottom box-descrittivo”]<\/p>\n

Nutrition education<\/h3>\n

Let\u2019s build a healthy relationship with food from an early age. School lunches are about socialising, enjoyment, culture and learning about healthy eating.<\/p>\n

As part of this initiative, we involve parents through the Taste Club, the flagship project of the school-family partnership.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”50″][vc_raw_html css=”” el_class=”no-margin-bottom”]JTNDZGl2JTIwY2xhc3MlM0QlMjJyYW1vLWRpdmlzb3JlJTIwY2VudHJhdG8lMjIlM0UlMEQlMEElMjAlMjAlMjAlMjAlM0NkaXYlMjBjbGFzcyUzRCUyMnN2Zy1jb250YWluZXIlMjBzdmctdml2dXMlMjIlMjAlMEQlMEElMjAlMjAlMjAlMjAlMjAlMjAlMjAlMjAlMjBkYXRhLXN2Zy11cmwlM0QlMjIlNUJ0aGVtZV9hc3NldHNfdXJsJTIwcGF0aCUzRCUyN3JhbW8tZ2VuZXJhbGVfYW5pbWF0ZWQuc3ZnJTI3JTVEJTIyJTIwJTBEJTBBJTIwJTIwJTIwJTIwJTIwJTIwJTIwJTIwJTIwZGF0YS1zdmctaWQlM0QlMjJzdmctcmFtby00JTIyJTIwJTBEJTBBJTIwJTIwJTIwJTIwJTIwJTIwJTIwJTIwJTIwZGF0YS1kdXJhdGlvbiUzRCUyMjIwMCUyMiUzRSUwRCUwQSUyMCUyMCUyMCUyMCUzQyUyRmRpdiUzRSUwRCUwQSUzQyUyRmRpdiUzRQ==[\/vc_raw_html][vc_empty_space height=”50″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” el_class=”rosso-sfondo border-radius-sezione-top border-radius-sezione-bottom”][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”50″][vc_column_text css=”” el_class=”no-margin-bottom”]<\/p>\n

Environments that educate<\/h3>\n

Flexible classrooms, STEAM labs, spaces for physical activity and creative expression. Spaces for experimenting, making mistakes and trying again. \u00a0The STEAM subjects are integrated into a single programme that fosters observation, creativity and design skills.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1785933879720{background-color: #FFFFFF !important;}” el_class=”border-radius-40 no-margin-bottom box-descrittivo”]<\/p>\n

Outdoor Education<\/h3>\n

The outdoors is an integral part of learning. \u00a0The garden, the educational vegetable patch and the Olona Valley become settings in which to explore, observe, collect data and carry out projects related to sustainability. Children learn to look after the environment when they feel they are part of it.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner el_class=”img-mobile border-radius-40 img-mobile–fix” width=”1\/3″ css=”.vc_custom_1780929329407{margin-right: 15px !important;margin-bottom: 50px !important;margin-left: 15px !important;background-image: url(https:\/\/devel.hostconsulting.it\/ois\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/ois-dove-si-impara-scaled.jpg?id=354) !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”50″][vc_raw_html css=”” el_class=”no-margin-bottom”]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[\/vc_raw_html][vc_empty_space height=”50″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” el_class=”verde-sfondo border-radius-sezione-top border-radius-sezione-bottom”][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”50″][vc_column_text css=”” el_class=”no-margin-bottom”]<\/p>\n

Schools and families: allies<\/h3>\n

The shared responsibility agreement is our tool. Regular meetings, shared documentation, events and get-togethers.
