With all eyes on Milan following the 2026 Winter Olympics and Paralympics, we look at how the city is enjoying a renaissance – and why families are flocking to the American School of Milan.
Milan is no stranger to the world stage, with guests jetting in for fashion weeks, design fairs and to catch soccer heavyweights like AC Milan and Inter Milan in action.
However, the northern Italian city is experiencing somewhat of a renaissance of late, in part thanks to hosting the recent Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games.
It’s not just visitors, though. Milan – home to a population of around 3.1 million – is increasingly attracting international professionals and families looking for a high quality of life abroad. They are drawn by new infrastructure, investment, job opportunities, tax advantages and a growing community of global talent.
For families considering a move, one question tends to arise first: where will the children go to school? For many – both international and Milanese families – the non-profit American School of Milan (ASM), located just south of the city, is the top choice.
