history of providing a world\-class education to expatriate and internationally minded families in

one of the worldʼs most iconic cities.

Our Vision is to be the best International School in Europe where all learners discover their passion

Our incredible pupils \- uniquely in Rome \- come from over 100 different countries and this infuses

our school with vibrancy, inclusivity, tolerance, respect and support. 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

La Storta in the cityʼs northern suburbs, the school is seeking exceptional team members who can
