Italian boarding schools for international students are mostly private international schools following IB, IGCSE, or the American system. St. Stephen's School in Rome accepts students aged 14–19 (grades 9–12), offering a co-educational environment and on-campus accommodation; a year of boarding here costs €55,537, while day tuition is €33,652. The International School of Milan accepts children from preschool through grade 13: senior school tuition reaches €25,960 per year, and boarding for international students costs €19,000–25,000. Institut International Saint Dominique in Rome offers a more affordable option — from €7,600 to €10,370 per year. Language requirements depend on the programme: for the IB, a B1–B2 level of English is sufficient; for the national track, a B1 level of Italian or above is required, although schools provide intensive language support in the first year.
