Who Owns St. Louis School?

St. Louis School was founded in 1969 in Milan, Italy, making it one of Italy's oldest and most established international schools. The school was established to serve the international community in Milan, one of Europe's major commercial and financial centers, which has long attracted a significant population of internationally mobile professionals and their families.

Milan's position as Italy's economic capital and a major European business hub created sustained demand for high-quality international education from the city's large expatriate community. Companies headquartered in Milan or with major operations in the city include leading names in fashion, finance, manufacturing, and professional services, bringing internationally mobile families who require internationally recognized education for their children.

St. Louis School was established to meet this demand, offering a multilingual curriculum that prepares students for university admission in Italy and internationally. The school's multilingual approach reflects the international character of its student body and the importance of language skills for students who may continue their education or careers in multiple countries.

Over more than five decades, St. Louis School developed a reputation as one of Milan's leading international schools, serving students from Italy and from the international community. The school built a diverse student body drawn from the families of diplomats, multinational corporate employees, and other internationally mobile professionals based in Milan.

St. Louis School's curriculum has evolved over the years to incorporate internationally recognized qualifications and frameworks, preparing students for university admission in Italy and at universities across Europe and internationally. The school's multilingual instruction reflects the linguistic diversity of its student body and the importance of language proficiency in an international career.

As part of Inspired Education Group's strategy to build a global portfolio of premium private schools, St. Louis School became part of the Inspired network.

Inspired's philosophy emphasizes that each school in its portfolio should maintain its individual identity and local character while benefiting from the company's global resources and standards.
