IC Largo Volumnia is a quite big school. There are over 1,000 students from 3 to 14 years old. The school consists of 2 separate buildings. There is a section for the kindergarten, for the little kids from 3 to 5; two sections for the primary school, for students from 5 to 11; and one big building for the middle school, for students from 11 to 14.
Our school is located in a very crowded area near Parco della Caffarella and Parco dell’Appia Antica, two very beautiful parks where kids can play with their friends. People go there and ride a bike, or visit important ruins and wonderful monuments rich in history along via Appia Antica, one of the oldest Roman roads. We are about 20 minutes away by bus from the city centre. If you take the train/underground, you’ll be soon in Piramide, a famous monument near Circo Massimo, the Colosseum, the Aventine and the Palatine (two of the seven famous hills in Rome). Rome is undoubtedly one of the most wonderful cities all over the world. There are a lot of famous monuments, museums and churches you can visit. Furthermore, we are not far away from the beautiful coast. Within a 30-minute train trip, you’ll get to Ostia, the famous seaside near Rome where all the Romans go during their summer holidays. In the past, Ostia was the place where Emperors used to spend their holidays. Today in Ostia Antica there are still ruins where you can admire old Roman villa floors.
We go to school from Monday to Friday, from 8:00 in the morning to 2:00 in the afternoon, but sometimes we stay at school in the afternoon for our lab activities. For example, we have foreing language classes, art classes, Italian classes for foreign students who don’t speak Italian fluently. My school can offer your students morning classes, such as Music, Art, Physical Education, English, Computer. But if there are still corona virus problems we will have outdoor classes according to the school rule. Students will be divided into small groups, they will learn to communicate in a foreign language (English), they will learn about foreign traditions and different educational system. Since our project is related to cultural heritage, outdoor classes will be related to history, ruins and monuments in Rome. There are so many monuments, so we do not have any problem to have an interesting lesson on art among some of the most beautiful monuments all over the world. During your stay in our school, we could learn legends related to Rome, such as the Founding of Rome. We can visit together the place mentioned in the legends, such as the Palatine Hill where Rome was founded.
IC Largo Volumnia School is also involved in Erasmus+ Projects. In the last years some students with their teachers went to Spain, Bulgaria and Hungary. We hosted foreign students and teachers in Rome as well. The project name was ‘Different countries, same heart – Europe is my home’. Some teachers are also etwinning teachers, so a few classes also participate in etwinning projects.
