Happy Holidays from H-FARM International School

As the year comes to a close, we pause to reflect on the remarkable journey our community has taken together over the past semester. At H-FARM International Schools—encompassing our campuses in (Roncade) Treviso, Vicenza, and Rosà—every day is a testament to the power of education to shape not only minds but also futures.

This year, our mission of empowering students to transform innovation into human progress for a better society has come alive in so many inspiring ways. Our students have embraced challenges, seized opportunities, and grown into compassionate leaders and innovative thinkers.

Our collective community now includes 1,165 students and over 224 dedicated staff members from all around the world. This rich diversity of perspectives elevates every discussion, project, and initiative, equipping our students to thrive in a rapidly changing global environment.

Achievements Across All Campuses
Together, our three schools organized 53 immersive educational trips—encompassing environmental explorations, cultural discoveries, hands-on experiences with craftsmanship, technology-focused workshops, and more. We hosted over 27 community events that brought students, families, and educators closer, forging a shared sense of purpose and belonging.

More than 680 hours of extracurricular activities allowed students to develop their interests and talents, while participation in over 13 sports tournaments and events fostered resilience, teamwork, and camaraderie. Guided by the Six Dimensions of Student Success—learning success, emotional well-being, social growth, community involvement, language proficiency, and future-readiness—we continue to nurture not only knowledgeable learners but empathetic, active citizens and forward-thinking innovators.
