Principal's Welcome
It is a great pleasure to welcome you to St George’s. Established in 1958, St George’s is proud to be one of the world’s leading British International Schools. With a heritage that spans over six decades and a vibrant student body representing more than 100 nationalities, we are one of the most internationally diverse schools in the world - a truly global learning community in the heart of Rome.
Our students consistently achieve outstanding academic results, among the highest in the region, progressing to top universities across the globe. At age 16, pupils undertake world-class IGCSE qualifications which prepare them for our unique Post-16 pathways. We offer both the International Baccalaureate Diploma and A-Levels, underpinned by the High School Diploma, providing a flexible and rigorous academic foundation. Our dedicated and passionate staff inspire pupils to thrive both in the classroom and beyond, where we place strong emphasis on developing the whole child through sport, music, drama, design, and community service.
Our sports programme is exceptional, supported by first-class facilities on both campuses and a growing reputation across Italy and Europe. We are proud to be Newcastle United’s first International Partner Football School, and we are expanding our competitive academies in Basketball and Swimming. Our outdoor sports pitches are of outstanding quality, and exciting new developments are underway, including a brand-new indoor swimming pool at La Storta. Once completed, both campuses will benefit from their own state-of-the-art swimming facilities.
Creativity flourishes at St George’s. Our theatrical productions and musical performances are remarkable in both ambition and quality. The artwork that adorns our school would not look out of place in a professional gallery. As a school with close ties to the city’s diplomatic and international communities, we also excel in Model United Nations, with students hosting an annual MUN conference in collaboration with UN agencies based in Rome.
We are immensely proud of the young people who make up our school community. They are courteous, compassionate, and intellectually curious. Their commitment to making a meaningful difference is evident in their support for both local and global charities, and in the inspiring work of our student-led sustainability group, who are driving real change to ensure our campuses remain green, responsible, and connected to the natural world around them.
St George’s is based across two campuses in Rome. Our first campus, set amidst the green surroundings of well-connected La Storta, is undergoing exciting developments. It will soon feature separate, purpose-built and upgraded facilities for both Junior and Senior Schools, designed to meet the distinct needs of different age groups while preserving the sense of community that defines our school. With extensive outdoor space, innovative learning spaces, and outstanding sports and arts facilities, the La Storta campus is a vibrant and spacious hub of student life and learning.
Our second campus is located in the heart of the City Centre, offering a more intimate Junior School environment within Rome’s historic core. This smaller setting allows for a close-knit atmosphere while maintaining the same high standards of academic excellence and pastoral care. Its central location provides unique opportunities for cultural enrichment, local partnerships, and engagement with the city’s international institutions.
Whether you are relocating internationally or already based in Rome, I warmly invite you to visit both our campuses and experience for yourself the extraordinary energy, care, and ambition that define St George’s. I look forward to welcoming you in person to our exceptional school community.
