Bienvenue au lycée français de Rome
Founded over 60 years ago, Institut International Saint-Dominique (IISD) is an international school in Rome combining academic rigour, multilingual education and strong pastoral care. Its 386 students represent over 40 nationalities.
IISD offers three upper-secondary pathways: the French Baccalauréat Général, ESABAC dual French–Italian diploma, and International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP), introduced in 2022. Grades 9–10 follow a Pre-IB pathway culminating in Cambridge IGCSEs, the international qualification offered in parallel to the French Brevet (DNB) taken by students in the French system.
French, English and Italian are central to the school’s multilingual environment.
Most graduates pursue higher education in France or Italy. Increasing numbers apply to international and English-taught programmes in France and other francophone destinations, with some also applying to Spain, the Netherlands and the UK.
Dedicated University & Careers Guidance supports students in exploring international pathways and making informed higher-education choices.
