What Collegio San Giuseppe does

Collegio San Giuseppe – Istituto De Merode is a private Catholic school in Rome, Italy, operating under the Lasallian educational tradition of the Brothers of the Christian Schools since its founding in 1850. It provides continuous education from primary school (Scuola Primaria) through high school (Licei), serving Roman families seeking K-12 private education that combines academic instruction with Catholic formation and international exposure. The school operates a single campus at Via S. Sebastianoello 1 in central Rome and enrolls families primarily from Rome and the surrounding Lazio region; 38 employees are listed in firmographic data, with a broader base of teaching faculty and Brothers of the Christian Schools active in governance and spiritual direction.

The school's core academic portfolio comprises Scuola Primaria, Scuola Media, and four Licei tracks — Liceo Classico and Liceo Scientifico, each offered in traditional and international variants — together with Cambridge International certification integrated alongside the Italian Maturità. Curriculum delivery uses CLIL (Content and Language Integrated Learning) methodology with digital presentation materials across multiple subjects. Supporting programs include Centro Lingue for language education, ICDL digital-skills certification, Laboratorio Teatrale Il Quadriportico for theater, Corso di Pianoforte, athletics through GAP De Merode, and a Centro Estivo summer camp. Operationally the school runs the ScuolaOnline portal (scuolaonline.info) for online gradebook and registration, alongside an active presence on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube, and a student-run Demerodiano blog.

Revenue is generated from annual tuition and school fees (Rette Scolastiche) at each level, one-time enrollment fees, and recurring charges for optional ancillary services including canteen (mensa), after-school care (doposcuola), summer camp, language courses, piano lessons, and school uniforms. Go-to-market is sales-led: individual informational interviews with program coordinators, prospective family school visits, periodic open-day events such as the Notte Bianca del Liceo, and formal enrollment through the Administrative Office, with some enrollment operations available electronically. Enrollments for the 2026-27 academic year are open. The institution is independently operated, with VAT P.I. 02113801001 and Tax Code C.F. 80019090580, no parent company, no external equity investment, and no public listing.
