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. Dr. Chris Greenhalgh joined the school as Principal and CEO in August, 2015.
