St. Georges School - Rome?

When we lived in Rome it had an excellent reputation and was considered the best of the British schools in Rome. Unfortunately, we lived  too far away for it to be feasible to consider sending our 3 yo (can't actually remember if they offered a nursery) but many of the pupils at the school she attended (Southlands) went onto St Georges. We did live in Rome 10 years ago but its reputation was well established so I doubt it has changed much. As with any school, arrange a visit, as you will be well aware, what is right for one child is not right for another, but we only heard good things.

Thank you for the advice and info you have given me. We are looking for schools to attempt to get jobs there as well, but I have a 4 year old son who will also need to go to school, so just checking which schools are advised by the residents of Italy :) x x x

As many of the expats in Rome/Milan etc work for large organisations and are based there for a few years, often they have no choice in the actual school as many of the organisations pay the fees and have contracts with set schools.  Or, the expat is in accomodation tied to their particular job so the school is chosen for convenience to school bus routes. All the international schools provide a fairly extensive school bus service for their part of Rome and you find clusters of expats living along these school bus routes and within easy reach of the stops as crossing  Rome in rush hour traffic is to be avoided! I don't think any of the schools had a bad reputation, but the only way to gauge atmosphere etc  is to visit - not so easy when overseas. As there is a huge expat support network in Rome, I don't think many participate in this fourm as their questions are answered locally.
