The British School of Milan (BSM), formerly "The Sir James Henderson School," is an English-language IB World School that was founded in 1969 by members of the British Community in Milan, with support from the British Chamber of Commerce. The school was named after Sir James Henderson, a Scottish businessman who opened Cucirini Cantoni Coats S.p.A. in 1911 in Milan. Henderson was also a founding member of the British Chamber of Commerce, of which he was president for many years, and the founder of Rotary in Italy.
The school's first location was in via Mancinelli, 3, with separate premises for the Upper School opening in via Lombardia not long after. In 1996, the school moved to its current location in Via Pisani Dossi, reuniting the Lower and Upper Schools on one campus.
The objective of the school is to provide British education, following the English National curriculum, to pupils ranging in age from 3 to 18 from over 40 nationalities.
Dr. Chris Greenhalgh joined the school as Principal and CEO in August, 2015.
