The History of LA MAISONNETTE

La Maisonnette was founded in 1980 by Teresa Genova. Located near the Colosseum, in Viale del Monte Oppio, it was originally a bi-lingual (Italian-French) lay school; in the 1990’s English was introduced, making it a tri-lingual school and putting it in the category of a European school.

La Maisonnette has a nursery school for children from three months to three years and a kindergarten for children from three to six. Children are grouped according to age. Extra courses are available to children from four to eleven in language, music, gymnastics and computer.
La Maisonnette opened a second school in 1990 and a Franchising project in 2000.
We now have the following schools in Rome:
  • A nursery school and kindergarten (with public school status) founded in 1980 in Viale del Monte Oppio 7, Rome (headquarters).

In February, 2008, the school in Monte Oppio was awarded certification of conformity n. 20669-2008-AQ-ITA-SINCERT for management UNI EN ISO 9001:2000.
