About Us:
At Our International Academy (OIA), we're not just about academics—we're committed to nurturing well-rounded individuals. Our curriculum goes beyond textbooks, focusing on emotional intelligence, mindfulness, and happiness alongside traditional subjects.
What makes us unique is our hands-on approach to learning. Through problem-solving and project-based activities, students develop critical thinking, creativity, and teamwork skills. From Kindergarten grades onwards, our Jr. Healthcare Academy classes introduce students to the importance of health awareness in a real-world context.
Language immersion sets us apart. With English, Italian, and Spanish woven into daily lessons, students gain fluency and cultural understanding. Our strengths-based curriculum empowers students and educators to explore passions across all subjects.
We believe emotional intelligence is as crucial as academic achievement. Integrated throughout our curriculum, it equips students with the resilience and empathy needed to navigate life's challenges with confidence and compassion.
