Niente senza Gioia! Nothing without Joy!
Welcome to La Scuola International School. The world has changed, and it’s time for education to catch up. At LA SCUOLA we believe that to inspire brave learners to shape the future, we must believe that:
Children are innately intelligent and curious. The provocative questions they ask ignite a process of arriving at answers with peers and teachers, not an opportunity for us to tell them the answer.
