Siamo parte del gruppo International House
We are delighted to welcome British School IH San Giuseppe | Scafati to the International House family. Based in the Campania region of southern Italy, the school brings with it a strong community presence, a loyal student base, and a passionate commitment to high-quality, student-centred language education that aligns closely with the values of the IH network.
About the School
Although the company itself was established in 2022 following the reorganisation of an earlier partnership, the core team at BSST brings over a decade of experience in running successful language centres. Their main site in San Giuseppe Vesuviano has been operating for 11 years, and they have recently expanded to a second location in Scafati, reflecting their growing reputation and demand for their courses.
The school offers General English courses for all age groups, from very young learners to adults, with additional preparation for major English language certifications including Cambridge, Pearson, LanguageCert, Trinity College London, IELTS, and TOEFL
A Community School with Strong Values
BSST has built a strong reputation in the local area as a trusted centre for language education. Students and parents alike praise the school for its personalised approach, warm environment, and high standards. The school works closely with families to support each learner’s journey, and many students return year after year, often referring friends and siblings. Their pre-affiliation inspector noted, “They are a very good example of a community school, delivering a high-quality learning experience to their students in the local area… They would be a real asset to the network and would add value.”
Leadership and Innovation
The school is led by a dedicated and proactive management team, including School Director Rosa Giordano and Frank Sito. Their commitment to innovation, continuous improvement, and a clear alignment with IH’s values was evident throughout the pre-affiliation process. Their clear strategic vision and openness to feedback point to a school that is eager to grow, evolve, and contribute meaningfully to the wider network.
Why Join IH
Speaking about the decision to join the IH network, Domenico Miele, the CEO of the school, affirmed:
“We chose International House because it perfectly aligns with our values of student-centered learning and community engagement, but on a global scale. This affiliation opens up incredible opportunities for our students and teachers to connect, learn, and grow within a vibrant international network, preparing them for a truly global future.”
The team at BSST is particularly looking forward to the professional development opportunities available through IH, as well as the chance to collaborate with a global network of like-minded educators and institutions, connecting with their new colleagues in Italy and beyond. They see the network as a source of inspiration, support, and shared best practice that will help them continue to improve and innovate.
A Word from IHWO
Emma Hoyle, Managing Director at IHWO, commented:
“It was clear as soon as we met the team at BSST that they had the qualities to be an excellent member of the network. Passionate about education, innovative, and deeply caring about their students and teams. We are very excited to see them grow within the network and to benefit from their energy, expertise and collaborative spirit.”
We are proud to welcome British School IH San Giuseppe | Scafati to the IH family and look forward to seeing their continued growth and what they will bring to the IH network.
