Our Story
The International School of Florence (ISF) traces its roots back to 1952, when it was founded in Rome as a pioneering institution for multicultural education. In 1963, the school relocated to Florence to meet the growing demand for English-language education in Tuscany. Over the decades, ISF has evolved from a small community into a leading international institution, becoming an IB World School in 1983. Today, we operate across two historic campuses, blending over 70 years of tradition with innovative, future-ready learning.
