ALUMNI
ISF Alumni Association
The International School of Florence Alumni Association includes every former student of the School, including those who left ISF prior to graduation. Everyone is welcome!
The aim of the ISF Alumni Association is to connect former students with each other and the school, to share memories and stories, offer networking opportunities and continue the sense of school community, no matter where in the work alumni now live or work.
Our objective is to build a community of former students, from every era of ISF, who seek to share their experience at ISF and life after, helping other alumni and current ISF students. Alumni are encouraged to share how ISF has impacted their lives and special memories of their time at school. We also want to learn more about you and all your accomplishments after leaving ISF.
Please get in touch with the team via alumni@isfitaly.org and you are most welcome to visit the school or join us for an event.

History of ISF (est. 1952)
The School was co-founded by Horace Gibson and Paul Burke-Mahony in Rome in 1952 under the name the Rome Tutoring Service with their first 6 students. In 1953, the “Tutoring Service” thrived, with 23 students and they renamed their little school, the Parioli Day School. As the school grew more International, it was renamed the Parioli International Day School. In 1963, the school moved to Florence and became known as the St. Michael’s Country Day School on a beautiful farm villa on Via del Guarlone. In 1968, the school moved to Villa Torre di Bellosguardo. where it became known as the American International School of Florence and adopted the International Baccalaureate Programme. In 1980, the school moved to Villa Tavernule in Bagno a Ripoli, our current Junior School Campus. Twenty years later, the school was renamed the International School of Florence. In 2003 the Middle and High School moved to our current Upper School campus at Villa Torri di Gattaia.
