Inspired by her vision and international best practices, the MOF transforms schools into inclusive, dynamic, and harmonious environments where students and teachers rediscover the joy of learning and teaching. This unique program offers the opportunity to study the model directly at the Istituto Della Rovere, the flagship school of the MOF network in Italy.
