OUR STORY
Founded in 2016, Scuola Italiana Enrico Fermi International School was created by a small group of Italian professional women, who wanted to combine the excellence of the Italian school model with the best of the American scholastic experience to serve the growing international community. SIEF opened its early childhood education program with full day preschool in September of 2016. In 2018, SIEF initiated its first Kindergarten class; we plan to expand in subsequent years through 8th grade. SIEF also offers multiple Community Enrichment Classes in Italian language and culture for infants through 8 years of age. The school has tripled in size since opening, and welcomes families of all shapes and sizes.
