Admissions

Welcome to Admissions at ASM

It is always a pleasure to meet prospective families and to hear their unique stories and experiences of living abroad. Whether they are coming from the expat community or returning to Milan after many years, I enjoy meeting families and reflecting on how ASM can contribute to shaping their educational journeys and futures. Milan is a vibrant city and offers an international and highly ‘livable’ Italian lifestyle and ASM encompasses quality education in a campus environment.

At ASM, we take great care in assisting you in choosing the right school and finding an environment where academic excellence and personal growth go hand in hand. At ASM, our ‘ethos’ is developing both intellect and character, and this is reflected in our mission and our values, as well as in our achievements and our care for our students and community.
By choosing ASM, you are choosing a non-profit organization where we invest in quality teachers and exceptional campus facilities and where the majority of our students are international students (65%). Our programs are rigorous, and our students excel in many areas, including academics, sports, the arts, and service.

We invite you to join us. We are here to support your admissions journey, and we hope you will become a part of our ASM Community.

“ We are dedicated to welcoming prospective families to ASM, guiding them through their admissions journey, and ensuring they find a school that fosters both academic excellence and personal growth. We have a deep understanding of the international experience, passion about connecting with families and helping them discover all that ASM has to offer.”

Denise Buren, Director of Admissions & Advancement
