Chatterbox was established in the year 2000 from the innovative idea of a unique, bilingual education system in Sardinia.
We are a Cambridge International School, registered to offer education programmes from
Cambridge Assessment International Education, part of the University of Cambridge.
We offer a set of monolingual (English) educational services for Nursery, Playschool and the evening English courses, and bilingual (Italian/English) educational services for the ministry-recognised Primary School and the Secondary Project (a bilingual course in preparation for the lower Secondary School level, following on from the Primary school).
Children exposed to different languages become more aware of different cultures, people and points of view, getting ready to become world citizens with open minds and develop a strong ability to embrace change.
Bilingual children have strong multitasking and concentration skills. They are often the earliest readers, and in general, they find it easier to learn other languages.
Bilingualism, as well as offering great study and work opportunities in adult life, has been found to delay the onset of dementia symptoms and to slow down cognitive ageing.

On the occasion of World Book Day and World Sleep Day, we have created a themed bedtime story for you, featuring Charlie the Bear—the same little bear we accompanied on his adventures in London last summer.
A child’s relationship with their teachers plays a crucial role in their development. School is not just a place for academic learning; it is also an environment where meaningful relationships form, influencing students' emotional and social growth. Let’s not forget that children spend most of their day at school. For this reason, it is essential to foster an attitude of respect toward teachers and avoid negative criticism in front of our children.
Did you know that every year we welcome dozens of high school and university students who choose to complete their PCTO (Pathways for Transversal Skills and Orientation) or internship at Chatterbox?
We interviewed one of them: Maria, a sixteen-year-old student from the Eleonora d’Arborea Linguistic High School in Cagliari, currently taking part in the PCTO program with our Year 2 class.
To find out what motivated her to choose our school and how her experience unfolds in the classroom, read the article!
