Our highly qualified team of teachers includes many leading educationalists and experts in their field who inspire the pupils to genuinely be the best they can be.
We are dedicated to not only recruiting and retaining the best teachers, but also to ensuring that we constantly develop and improve the education that they provide for our pupils through a focus on training, coaching, research and innovation. Our close links with the worldʼs highest performing and most aspirational universities ensure that our Georgians are filled with ambition and have the highest possible expectations for their future.
Our programme of co-curricular activities allows pupils to develop a wide range of interests beyond the curriculum. Our sports facilities are without parallel in the city. Our performing arts and music productions are breathtaking in both their ambition and scope. And, perhaps not surprisingly for a school with such close links to the cityʼs diplomatic community, we have consistently excelled on the international stage in our Model United Nations endeavours.
With two campuses - a Junior School in the heart of Rome and a Junior and Senior School based in La Storta in the cityʼs northern suburbs, the school is seeking exceptional team members who can contribute to the exciting next phase of our development.
