The British School IH Pisa was a vital part of my education, and I think it was a key to my success as a Professor in the United States
British School International House Pisa è stata fondata nel 1978, quando Robin Routledge, guidato dalla sua passione per l’educazione e dall’amore per l’Italia, aprì la prima scuola di lingua inglese a Pisa.
Negli ultimi quarant’anni, la scuola è diventata un punto di riferimento sul territorio, aiutando migliaia di residenti e studenti internazionali ad ampliare le proprie opportunità e ad accedere a un futuro più globale attraverso l’inglese.
Oggi, British School IH Pisa comprende due sedi fisiche (a Pisa e Pontedera), una scuola online ed è Cambridge English Platinum Exam Centre, avendo somministrato oltre 3.000 esami certificati in un solo anno accademico. Oltre ai corsi in sede e online, British School IH Pisa collabora attivamente con università, aziende, enti e scuole statali in tutta la Toscana.
La nostra missione va oltre l’insegnamento della lingua: miriamo a creare un ambiente inclusivo, motivante e professionale in cui ogni studente sia supportato nel raggiungimento dei propri obiettivi. Ogni discente riceve un’attenzione personalizzata da parte di un team di docenti altamente formati e appassionati.
Crediamo fortemente nell’inclusività e siamo specializzati nella didattica per studenti con DSA, grazie a materiali e metodi personalizzati come apprendimento cinestetico, role-play, ebook e strumenti visivi.
I nostri corsi sono rivolti a studenti dai 3 anni in su fino agli adulti, con formule flessibili in presenza, online o in modalità ibrida.
