A leading British international school with Europe topping IB results, BSM balances a blend of international and Italian pupils, taking a global perspective whilst remaining grounded in local culture. The new Principal, Simon Lockyer, comes with a strong track record of looking beyond the academics to encourage character development and prepare young people for future employment. The school is already well-placed in this regard with World Challenge and MUN trips building leadership and teamwork and clubs such as Digital Advertising Strategies and Media Production delivering employable skills. A founding member of NISSA, promoting inter-school sport highlights the importance the school places on sport. A not for profit school, class sizes are small with focus on instilling a love of learning and encouraging children to be ‘creative, curious and critically aware’.
