Campus History

Back in 1962 a small group of English speaking parents in Milan decided that they wanted to provide their children with an Anglo-American education. They formed a non-profit association dedicated to providing an American-style education for their children and renamed the school The American Community School of Milan. The association was financed through the School’s small but growing community. In the early years, ASM had many different homes in Milan but in 1976, the building committee reached an agreement with a local real estate developer who donated the 9-acre property in Noverasco di Opera upon which the school was built and stands today. The most recent chapter of ASM expansion was written in 2009 when the school increased the square footage of the spacious, modern facilities by 40%.
