Scuola elementare e medie – Elementary school Bologna Italy
Kinder College
International Elementary and Middle School for children aged 5 – 13
Amid the green hills within easy reach of Bologna’s city-center, Kinder College offers a quiet, sunny environment to learn in. Schoolchildren can follow an International Programme all in English or, alternatively, a bilingual one (as we have seen before).
From the second year of Elementary school onwards, schoolchildren take up a second foreign language of their choice (French, German, Spanish or Chinese).
As in any English "public school", academic work and plenty of sports activities go hand in hand.
Making full use of the school’s ideal location, the children can learn to appreciate and look after nature while playing games in the school grounds.
Our activities include:
- Early school enrolment at age 5
