Welcome to the Sir James Henderson School in Milan. For nearly 40 years this school has served parents and children who seek the best in British education. Our 800 students, aged from 3-18, are drawn from a diverse range of nationalities and this successful mix gives our school an international dimension which enhances all that we do. The recent introduction of the IB Diploma post 16 serves further to underline our on-going commitment to high academic standards and openness to the global society within which our students will live and work. We hope you enjoy exploring our website which gives an introduction to the thriving educational community we share and further details of the education on offer here.
Our school has an established reputation for academic excellence and we take pride in the achievements of our students in public examinations each year. We celebrate equally the school’s emphasis upon care for each one of our students and upon the family atmosphere of support which gives our community such a special character. This emphasis provides the secure foundation for our students to discover and develop their talents through the broadest possible range of opportunities. An education here extends far beyond a set curriculum into a true exploration of the creative, intellectual, personal and spiritual potential of each and every child. Our success may be measured in the numbers of students who move on to Universities in the UK, Italy and throughout the world. We also see success in their abilities to use the skills developed here which make them adaptable, resourceful, tolerant, persevering and always curious about the world in which we live.
Our students are fortunate in having the support and guidance of a highly motivated and experienced teaching staff whose commitment to the school community and shared joy in its achievements represent a real strength of the school. We aim to work closely with parents and see the success of the home-school partnership as key to the continuing vitality and progress of our school.
It would be our pleasure to welcome you to the school. Words and images can convey only so much and a visit to our living and working school would allow you to capture some of the reasons why it is so enjoyable and satisfying to form part of this vibrant educational community. We look forward to meeting your family.
Principal.
