MILE School

What MILE School does

MILE School is a private bilingual international school operating from a single campus at Via Francesco Olgiati 14 in Milan, Italy. Founded in 2003 (or 2004 per company history) by Adriana Sorbellini, the school delivers a continuous educational pathway for children aged 1 to 14 across four progressive levels: Bilingual Nursery (1-3), Bilingual Kindergarten (3-6), Bilingual Primary (6-11), and Bilingual Lower Secondary (11-14). The school is officially recognized by the Italian Ministry of Education (MIUR) as a Scuola Paritaria for Primary and Lower Secondary cycles and is accredited as a Cambridge International School, enabling it to issue legally valid Italian credentials while delivering Cambridge Early Years, Primary, and Lower Secondary curricula in parallel.

The school's core technology and methodology stack combines bilingual immersion (English-Italian, with optional Spanish, French, Chinese, or German from Primary) with Cambridge International programmes, a Bruno Munari-inspired creative method, a Life Competencies framework co-developed with Camtree at the University of Cambridge, and a STEAM curriculum that integrates robotics (RoboLab) and coding alongside traditional sciences. The school is a member of the International Schools Partnership (ISP), a global school network that provides access to international student exchanges, Model United Nations, international chess tournaments, and exclusive ISP scholarships. Ancillary offerings include English Summer Camps at the Milan campus, an international summer programme with Claremont School in England, multi-region summer camps across Italy, and partnership-based sports camps.

The revenue model is tuition-based and recurring (annual), with fees not publicly disclosed and distributed across Nursery, Kindergarten, Primary, and Lower Secondary levels. Go-to-market is event-driven: MILE acquires families through open days, personalized campus tours, video calls with the Head of Admissions, student assessments, and enrollment confirmation, with the next Open Day scheduled for October 3, 2026. The customer base consists of Italian and international families in Milan seeking bilingual education with pathways to both Italian licei and international high schools, plus a secondary segment seeking inclusive education support. The school employs 46 staff and operates as a single-campus, privately held, owner-operated institution with no disclosed external funding, M&A activity, or institutional investment.
