Welcome to St George's British International School

We are delighted that you are considering applying for a leadership position at St George's British International School Rome.

St George's is the original and leading British curriculum school in Rome. St George's was established in 1958 to serve the needs of Rome's international and internationally-minded communities. Many of our families are connected either to the United Nations or to embassies in Rome and the Vatican City. They take pride in belonging to a diverse, inclusive and friendly school community committed to standards of excellence in education that are recognised worldwide.

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.

St George's Senior School is based at La Storta, to the North West of the City. St George's Seniors is intentionally inclusive, but its results at GCSE and IB are consistently on a par with selective independent schools in the UK. Many pupils proceed to Oxbridge, the Ivy League and to leading universities across continental Europe. According to Spear's Schools Index 2026, St George's is among the top 10 most academically successful international schools in continental Europe and among the top 100 schools worldwide.

This is a particularly exciting time to join St George's. The school is midway through a multimillion euro redevelopment of its La Storta campus. This programme has already resulted in a near doubling of the size of the school site and includes plans for a new canteen, state-of-the-art
performance spaces and a swimming pool. The governors last year appointed Mr. Alex Crossman as Principal and Chief Executive to lead the next phase of St George's evolution and expansion.
