Seeking advice on schools south of Torino
Hi, I am new to this forum. I wish to get information on any English speaking schools south of Torino, Piedmont. I am exploring the opportunity of doing a course in Pollenzo, near Bra, however I also have to take into account the education of 3 English speaking children (ages 8 and 6 year old twins). It would be wonderful for them to learn to speak Italian as a 2nd language however they will need an English speaking school in the first instance. I would like to minimise travel between the school and Bra if possible however I realise that that may not be possible. This being the case, I would opt to live closer to Torino, and the children's school, and commute to Bra each day. Any suggestions or URLs would be very much appreciated!
Thank you!
Thank you!

You probably won't have a wide choice. The International School of Turin (now in Chieri) is about 60Km from Bra but is a relatively easy drive that should take between 45 mins. to an hour each way. A lot of driving! http://www.isturin.it

Sorry, didn't see this. Welcome. 6 & 8 yrs olds could do well in an Italian primary. Depending on when your kids were 6 they would be in 1st grade or 2nd with the option of staying behind a year. 8yr old would be in 3rd or 4th.
