The English International School of Padua

About our School

The English International School of Padua (EISP) is one of the leading international schools in the Veneto region, offering education to students aged from 18 months to 18 years. EISP is an evolving school and since opening in 1987 has become the school choice for international and Italian parents looking to provide their children with the highest levels of education.

EISP operates independently from other international schools; however, it is affiliated with ECIS, the Cambridge Examining Board and it is also an IB World School.

Our Mission:

Our educational mission is to provide students with the essential stimuli to develop and reach their full potential in an international learning environment that encourages and motivates them to do their best every day.

We guide our students on this important and ambitious journey by:

• offering a welcoming, safe, inclusive, and supportive learning environment;
• providing a solid foundation in knowledge and skills;
• expanding critical thinking, open-mindedness, and global awareness;
• promoting intercultural understanding and respect;
• increasing self-confidence and independent learning;
• stimulating creativity, curiosity, and imagination.

EISP aims to prepare students to become citizens of the world and lifelong learners who are ready for the challenges of a complex reality through a holistic approach that encompasses all aspects of their personal development.

Our Vision:

EISP is dedicated to shaping a future where each student emerges as an empowered global citizen, equipped to prosper in an evolving world. Our goal is to set the standard in educational excellence, nurturing innovation and leadership, along with a perpetual passion for learning. We plan to broaden our campus, enrich our extracurricular activities, and uphold competitive fees to make top-tier education available to everyone. With these pledges, we motivate our students to make significant contributions to society and pursue lives of satisfaction.
