The friendly staff are always there to help with any issue, small or big, professional or personal.

The work-life balance is great as it gives you the opportunity to make the most of Sondrio’s beautiful location’.

The British School is a fabulous place to work in many ways.  It is situated in the beautiful Valtellinese valley (perfect for skiing, walking, climbing and all things out doorsey).  The town is relatively small but has many lovely restaurants and bars serving wholesome and traditional Valtellinese cuisine.  It is easily accessible from Milan and the stunnings Lakes of Como Maggiore and Garda are a quick train ride away.
