Scuola Svizzera di Roma (German: Schweizerschule Rom, translation: Swiss School of Rome)[2] is an international school with a holistic pedagogy that leads to the Swiss Matura.

The school was founded in 1946 by members of the Swiss community in Rome after the collapse of Italian fascism.

[clarification needed] Every three years, the members of the association elect a board of directors, which – together with the principal – is responsible for the strategic management of the school.

The Swiss School Rome taught most subjects in German and according to the curricula of the Canton of St.

In primary school, in addition to the Swiss curricula, the children take the “esame di idoneità” at the end of primary school (esame di idoneità al termine del quinto anno di scuola primaria, ai fini dell'ammissione al successivo grado d'istruzione) and the “licenza media” (esame di Stato conclusivo del primo ciclo d’istruzione) at the end of middle school.
