About us

Saint Denis School was founded in the late 1970s in the pre-hill area of Turin, with the then-pioneering goal of experimenting with a bilingual Italian-English educational path. In 1981, the school moved to the banks of the River Po, in the heart of the Crimea area, within the charming building that still serves as its historic headquarters. Today it is joined by another important campus located in the center of Turin. The school offers a top-tier educational experience, recognized by both the Italian Ministry of Education and Merit and Cambridge International Education.

Saint Denis School's mission includes:

placing students at the heart of the learning process
fostering a family-like atmosphere and community spirit
implementing non-discriminatory and inclusive educational practices
involving all school community members in achieving goals
actively inspiring students towards tolerance and empathy
teaching respect for life and human dignity from a multicultural and multilingual perspective rooted in an international framework

Bilingual Nursery School

Saint Denis School specializes in fostering the natural and spontaneous learning of English from an early age. Over the three-year Nursery School period, all morning activities, including lunchtime, are conducted in English, totaling 20 hours per week. Afternoon activities are conducted in Italian by the class teachers.
