“Castelli International School has worked with the Food Studies Institute (FSI) since 2013 in Italy and the United States. FSI held fun, hands-on workshops with our students and teachers, as well as with other International Schools in Rome. The work done at our school with our entire staff and parents motivated the school management to include the “Food is Elementary” curriculum in our program so our students can learn the importance of healthy eating and grow up to be healthy and caring adults. We highly recommend this program to educators who care about a holistic education for their school community.”
