Marymount International School Rome is one of the Catholic international schools mapped on our Rome city hub, teaching a values based education modelled on the American curriculum from early childhood to grade 12. It is a member of the Global Network of RSHM Schools, the family of Marymount schools founded by the Religious of the Sacred Heart of Mary that spans Europe, North America and South America, which shapes both its pastoral character and its international outlook.
This profile is an independent reference page. GlobalSchoolGuide does not accept payment for coverage, and Marymount appears here because it is a real school relocating parents ask about, not because it paid to be listed. We researched the facts below from the school and public sources at the time of writing, and mark anything we could not confirm as not published.
At a glance
Curriculum and academics
Marymount teaches an American international programme structured into elementary, middle and high school. The elementary years build literacy, mathematics, science and social studies alongside enrichment in music, art, drama, religion, physical education and technology. The middle school deepens study across language and literature, language acquisition, mathematics, the sciences, individuals and societies and the arts, a structure that prepares pupils for the demands of the senior school.
In grades nine to twelve students work towards the Marymount American High School Diploma, and the school also offers Advanced Placement courses, the US system of college level examinations that can earn university credit, together with the IB Diploma, the two year qualification recognised by universities worldwide. The breadth of languages, from Italian and French to Chinese and the classics, reflects a deliberately international curriculum. Ask the school for its current AP course list and Diploma subject groups, and use our IB guide to see how the two senior routes compare.

Marymount International School Rome fees
Marymount sits in the premium tier described on our Rome international school fees guide, where the leading schools run roughly EUR 19,000 to EUR 27,500 a year at the secondary level. Early childhood and elementary fees sit below the secondary headline, typically by a meaningful margin, while the high school years carry the highest tuition. Treat these as bands rather than a quote, because schools revise fees each year and the published schedule is the only reliable figure.
Tuition is only part of the budget. Expect a registration or enrolment charge on entry, and many premium Rome schools also apply a capital or building levy. Budget for the usual extras of lunches, bus transport where used, trips and examination entry costs at AP and IB Diploma level. Use our fee calculator to model the full annual figure rather than the headline tuition alone, and compare it against the wider city market in the Rome fees guide.
Admissions
The school year follows the American calendar from late summer to June, and Marymount accepts applications for the autumn intake across early childhood, elementary, middle and high school, with places filled as they arise. Families are usually asked for previous school reports and academic records, and older applicants are assessed to confirm grade placement and, in the senior years, the right AP or Diploma course load.
Mid year entry is considered subject to space, which matters for the diplomatic and corporate families who move to Rome outside the usual cycle. Because senior places depend on course availability, parents on a fixed timeline should contact admissions early to check both availability and subject fit. See the Rome city hub for how Marymount sits among the city's other international options.
Location and who goes there
Marymount is a day school serving Rome's international, diplomatic and Italian families who want a Catholic American education with a global outlook. As a single campus day school it draws heavily from the surrounding residential districts, and families choosing it should factor a realistic commute into daily life given Rome traffic.
The intake is strongly international and reflects the embassy, NATO and corporate communities in the city alongside Italian families. For a sense of where international families settle across Rome and the schools near them, including American options such as the American Overseas School of Rome and the boarding and day route at Saint Stephen's School, see the city hub and our roundup of the best American schools in Rome.
