International School of Milan — Milan, Italy
School type: IB Continuum School · IB Programmes: PYP, MYP, DP · Live coaching in CET (Central Europe)
The International School of Milan (ISM) is an English-medium international school founded in 1958, today part of the Inspired Education Group and based at a purpose-built campus in Baranzate, northwest of Milan, opened in 2013. Its student body spans around 60 nationalities.
ISM offers all three IB programmes — PYP, MYP and the IB Diploma — as a continuum for students aged 2 to 19, and describes itself as the longest-established IB school in Italy and the only school in Milan to offer the three programmes as a continuum. Its IB Diploma authorisation dates to 1997.
In 2025 ISM’s IB Diploma cohort averaged 34 points, with a top score of 44/45 and 69% of students earning the bilingual diploma; named leavers progressed to Imperial College London, the University of Manchester, Columbia University and École Polytechnique de Paris. Science, including Biology, is taught by subject specialists in English.
For ISM families, specialist IB Biology coaching typically reinforces HL depth and the Paper 1 / Paper 2 mark scheme, plus IA mentorship. Our 1:1 sessions run in CET around the school day and align to the school’s DP calendar.
Sourced from publicly available rankings, the school's own annual diploma results communications, and the IB Organization's programme authorisations.

ISM reports IB leavers progressing to leading universities including Imperial College London, the University of Manchester, Columbia University and École Polytechnique de Paris. IB Biology supports the school’s strong engineering, medicine and life-sciences pathways.
ISM runs the IB Diploma as the capstone of its PYP–MYP–DP continuum, toward the Northern-Hemisphere May exam session. We schedule live 1:1 sessions in CET around the school day, align IA mentorship to the school’s internal deadlines, and drill the IB Biology Paper 1 / Paper 2 mark schemes with past-paper data-response practice.
