Why ASM?

In the 2011/12 school year, the American School of Milan turned 50 years old. Since 1962, the school has offered a first-class education in English to American and international students and ASM graduates have gone on to be successful professionals in all walks of life.

Set in 9 acres of green space, our modern campus boasts seven state-of-the-art science laboratories, two full-sized American gymnasia, a 27,000 volume library complete with e-books and technology at all levels of the school (with netbooks, a full laptop program in grade 6 and above, 3D design, digital art and photography classes, a motion picture film studio and of course, wi-fi throughout the school). Our entire campus was either newly built in 2009 or was renovated in 2010/11 and our outdoor areas, including two separate playgrounds, two tennis courts, an outdoor basketball court and soccer field, were also rebuilt in 2009/10.

With our International Baccalaureate program, ASM students are put through a rigorous academic program that prepares them for the best universities anywhere in the world.

Our faculty, both dedicated and professional, are a vital component in a student's path to success and our students consistently say that ASM teachers are friendly, caring and professional.

Our student population is highly international: students originate from over 50 countries and many arrive from other international schools in many other parts of the world, since their parents are relocating for work assignments. Indeed it is not uncommon to have a class with students coming from 16 different nations and languages, all united through the English language.

The school has a strong focus on excellence and works hard to give our students the very best in academics, facilities and technology, all of which contribute to a unique and rewarding education for our students, one that they take with them for the rest of their lives and which will prepare them for the challenges of the 21st century.
