We are so pleased to welcome you all back to H-FARM International School Vicenza. Our Head of School, Ms Alessandra Chiovati, opens this first edition of the SON with a personal message to our community — one of warmth, optimism, and excitement for the year ahead.

Dear Students, Families, and Colleagues, 

As we begin this new school year, I want to welcome you all and share my excitement for the journey ahead. 

Last year marked the beginning of our integration into Nord Anglia Education, a process that, for the most part, unfolded behind the scenes as we laid the groundwork for what comes next.  

This year, that work becomes visible: our international IB school steps more fully into a global network, opening new opportunities for our students to connect, collaborate, and learn alongside schools and educators around the world: from MIT Challenges to international expeditions, our students will have access to experiences that extend learning well beyond our classrooms. Our identity and our commitment to every individual student remain unchanged, what grows is our reach. 

Growing together is the thread that runs through this new chapter: our students grow, our faculty grows, our school grows, and with it grows our ability to offer an education that is ever more connected to the world, without ever losing the human, community-centered spirit that defines us. 

Thank you for the trust you continue to place in us.  

I wish you all a school year full of discovery, meaningful relationships, and growth, both personal and collective. 

With warmth and appreciation, 

Alessandra Chiovati 

Head of School
