About H-FARM International School Venezia

H-FARM International School Venezia is the “founder” of the H-FARM International schools; it is the beginning of our story.

The campus is located in the heart of the Sile River natural park in an area known as Ca’ Tron, one of the largest single agricultural estates in Italy, which borders the Venetian lagoon.

It is in a strategic position in Italy’s northeast region and is just 12km from Venice’s Marco Polo airport, 20km from Treviso, and 50km from Padova.

The school is an IB World School and provides the three IB continuum programmes (PYP, MYP, and DP), providing education to students from 3 to 18 years old.

In September 2020, H-FARM International School Venezia moved to the H-FARM Campus; a place where students, young startuppers, teachers, entrepreneurs, managers, and College students collaborate together in the digital transformation process. This is a stimulating place where ideas are shared, opportunities arise and experiences are made, inspiring students.

Since 2018, H-FARM International School has been recognised as an Apple Distinguished School and excellence centre for digital didactics - amongst the most innovative in the world - selected for its unprecedented learning environments.

H-FARM International School Venezia is also part of the Boarding Schools' Association, with its two residential buildings located two hundred meters from the school and overlooking a central green park, close to the sports facilities, and the large library. The residence is also next to an area dedicated to common services, for a total area of over 4 thousand square meters. It can accommodate up to 244 beds, divided into single, double, and dedicated accommodations for students with disabilities.

H-FARM offers an ideal environment where learning is continuous and ongoing.

With the last expansion, the Campus passed from 14,000 square meters on 20 hectares of parkland to a total of 42,000 square meters of buildings on 51 hectares of land, 27 of which are dedicated to parkland and woods.

The Campus currently includes top-notch sports facilities, event spaces, cafes and restaurants, a College, and a large library, designed by the archistar R. Rogers.

Welcome to the biggest innovation hub in Europe.
