International School of Bergamo: Full IB Continuum & Inspired Group

History & Overview

The International School of Bergamo (IS Bergamo) was founded in 2011, making it one of the newer additions to the international school landscape in Lombardy. Despite its relatively recent founding, the school has established itself quickly as a reputable IB World School. IS Bergamo is part of the Inspired Education Group, connecting it to a global network of premium schools and shared educational resources. The school offers the full IB Continuum — PYP, MYP and Diploma Programme — serving approximately 420 students.

IB Programmes & Curriculum

IS Bergamo delivers the complete IB Continuum. The PYP fosters inquiry-based learning for younger students, the MYP develops critical thinking and interdisciplinary skills through adolescence, and the DP provides the academic rigour and breadth that top universities worldwide expect. As part of the Inspired Group, the school benefits from shared best practices, teacher development programmes and enrichment opportunities across the network. The full continuum means students can progress from age 3 to 18 within a consistent IB framework.

Campus & Community

Located in the province of Bergamo, the school serves families from Bergamo city and the surrounding area, as well as families from the eastern part of the Milan metropolitan area who prefer a smaller, more community-oriented school. With around 420 students, IS Bergamo maintains an intimate atmosphere where teachers know each student individually. The campus provides modern facilities suited to inquiry-based IB learning, including science labs, creative spaces and outdoor areas.

Why Choose This School

IS Bergamo is the natural choice for families in the Bergamo area and eastern Lombardy who want a full IB Continuum education without the long commute to Milan. The smaller student body means more personalised attention and a strong sense of community. The backing of the Inspired Education Group provides access to global resources and quality assurance. For families seeking a modern, purpose-built IB school with an intimate community feel, IS Bergamo offers an excellent option.
