Welcome from the Principal

Welcome to St George’s, a truly global learning community in the heart of Rome. 

Founded in 1958, St George’s is both the original and leading British international school in Rome and one of the top performing British schools in the world. Our families, today drawn from well over 100 countries, take pride in belonging to a diverse, inclusive and friendly school community committed to standards of excellence in education that are recognised worldwide. 

St George’s is a special place. A place where every student belongs, whatever their background. A place where every student can succeed, whatever their aspirations. A place to make treasured memories and lifelong friendships. We work with families to help raise young people who are intellectually curious, emotionally resilient and personally kind. 

A St George’s education is rooted in academic rigour and a deep love of learning. Combined with our close relationships with the world’s leading universities and global network of alumni, this propels Georgians to academic and professional success in later life. Beyond the classroom, Georgians enjoy extensive opportunities to develop creative and sporting aptitudes–to sing, to dance, to play, to compete, to collaborate, to debate and to explore.  

I encourage you to visit and to meet our wonderful students. I hope to welcome you and your family to one of the regular Open Events we run at both our La Storta and City Centre campuses.
