We are located in Noventa Padovana, just outside Padua , 20 minutes from Venice . The school occupies a wing attached to the 15th-century Grimani-Valmarana villa and is surrounded by a 30,000-square-meter park.

In 2007, Villa Grimani International School became a member of ECIS (European Council of International Schools), the association of top international schools recognized by the Italian government. Membership means the school is constantly monitored and informed about developments in international schools around the world. The school also offers its staff the opportunity to attend refresher courses organized by ECIS, which aim to help them grow their professionalism.
