Welcome to St Georgeʼs
We are delighted that you are considering applying for a position at St Georgeʼs. We are one of
the leading andmost 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 community - uniquely in Rome - comprises pupils from nearly 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 committed 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
andmost aspirational universities ensure that our Georgians are filled with ambition and have the
highest possible expectations for their future.

Whilst our IGCSE and IB results are among the best of any school of its type in the world, we believe
that a truly outstanding education is about so muchmore than just examination results. Our focus
on the nine Cs ensures our pupils become highly successful individuals who are equipped to excel
whatever the global economy of the future looks like, but who are also proud of who they are and
their own unique combination of qualities, talents, passions and challenges.

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
andmusic 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 further Junior and Senior School
based in La Storta in the cityʼs northwestern suburbs, the school is seeking ambitious teachers who
can contribute to the exciting next phase of our development.
