St George's British International School, Rome

What St George's British International School, Rome does

St George's British International School, Rome operates a non-selective, independent British international school delivering education from ages 3 to 18 across two campuses: the main 24-acre La Storta campus (housing Senior School and La Storta Junior School) and a City Centre campus near the Vatican for Junior School pupils. Founded in 1958 as the oldest British international school in Rome, the school delivers an enhanced UK National Curriculum leading to IGCSE at Key Stage 4, then offers three Sixth Form pathways: the IB Diploma Programme, A-Levels (reintroduced 2025/2026), and the NEASC-accredited High School Diploma.

The product portfolio is anchored in academic programmes but supported by an integrated technology stack including ManageBac for IB curriculum management, the My School Portal parent communication platform, Unifrog for university/careers guidance, and OpenApply for admissions. A co-curricular programme covers sports, music, drama, Model UN (hosted at FAO headquarters), Duke of Edinburgh's Award, and CAS, complemented by specialist EAL and Additional Educational Needs services, a school bus network across Rome, and on-site catering. The school has ~1,000 students, ~137 employees, and academic outcomes materially above benchmarks (average IB score 36 vs global 30.8; 48%+ of IGCSE grades at A* equivalent vs 12% UK national average).

Revenue is generated almost entirely through tuition fees ranging from €13,900 (Dragon School) to €27,000 (Year 12/13) per annum, plus a €4,000 one-time registration fee, €350 annual re-enrolment fee, transportation services (€2,650-€4,150 annually), and pass-through IB/IGCSE exam fees. Distribution is direct-to-consumer via rolling admissions through OpenApply, supported by virtual tours, school open days, and an admissions team. Ownership rests with the St George's School Association, a parent-founded not-for-profit that holds the operating entities (St George's School Srl, Piccolo Mondo Scuola Elementare e Materna Srl, plus newly formed St George's Real Estate Srl and Polisportiva St George's sports company).
