The British School of Milan - Sir James Henderson

The British School of Milan, founded in 1969, is the only school in Milan awarded the highest rating of excellent by UK Government Inspectors (ISI). In 2020, it was rated among the top 10 schools in Europe.

The BSM is a not-for-profit school which provides world-class education to 720 students aged 3 to 18 of over 40 different nationalities. The school values cultural diversity and offers a rich international experience while rigorously following the UK National Curriculum.

Academic results are outstanding and students progress to top universities around the globe. In the last few years they have gained places at Oxford, LSE, Imperial, University College London, The University of Edinburgh, Trinity College Dublin, Università Bocconi, University of British Colombia, Sciences Po and many other leading universities. There is a strong emphasis on co-curricular activities with over 100 options available.

The school is particularly proud of its exceptional music, art and drama departments. In addition, the school acts as the Italian centre for the UK-based ABRSM, the exam board of the Royal Schools of Music. The school nourishes a strong tradition of community service, with a scholarship and bursary fund recently inaugurated and its involvement in the International Duke of Edinburgh’s Award Scheme.

The BSM is situated just outside the centre of Milan, close to the metro and on several bus routes. Linate airport and the popular Milano 2 residences are just minutes from the school.

Admission applications are accepted throughout the year.
