**Welcome to St Georgeʼs British International School**

leading and most academically successful British International Schools in Europe, with a rich
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
and purpose, developing the character, skills and confidence to make a difference in the world.
**Our Mission** is to ensure that all learners become the best version of themselves, in an
environment of collaboration, respect and kindness. We focus on the inspirational teaching and
holistic development of highly committed, aspirational and resilient learners. Everyone
contributes to our happy and welcoming school community where strong relationships and
cooperation lead to exceptional learning.

We are proud of our Founding Values. We are an internationally diverse community where
differences are respected and celebrated. We are a welcoming community where all pupils,
alumni, staff and parents are encouraged to thrive, feel safe and belong. We are a hugely ambitious
community where all learners are challenged to strive for excellence in all that they do.

**Be A Part of Our Special Community**

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
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.
