Our Team
Our pedagogical leadership team is competent, experienced and, above all, passionate.
One of the most attractive reasons to choose H-FARM International School is the faculty. Each member of our team has a true passion for education. They are much more than teachers or heads of programmes. They embraced our journey on a lifelong learning pathway.
Our Pedagogical Leadership Team
“Embracing the dialogic, Socratic method, our approach fosters deep thinking and the art of inquiry, encouraging learners to ask profound questions and engage in meaningful conversations for transformative learning.”
EMILIANO CORI
Head of School
“Our mission, as educators, is to keep the spark of curiosity, lit at a child’s birth, always burning.”
MAURO BORDIGNON
Head of Academics & Pedagogical Innovation
“I believe that a concept-based curriculum can support students in acquiring the skills, knowledge, understandings and dispositions they need to make sense of the world around them and become lifelong learners.”
ANTHONY HAMBLIN
Head of PYP
“Every act of learning builds our sense of self. What we learn, how we learn it, and the skills we believe we’ve developed connect to what we believe about ourselves and what we’re capable of. The PYP is a place for that bright and open possibility.”
ILIANA GUTIERREZ
PYP Coordinator
“Fuel curiosity, spark motivation – they’re the secret ingredients to a thrilling, lifelong adventure called education.”
ALBA MANSO
Head of MYP
“In the mountains, conditions can change in an instant, so being prepared is essential to navigate unexpected challenges. The same principle applies to our students’ personal growth in a fast-changing world; the best education we can provide is the ability to anticipate change and adapt to it.”
ANGELICA BENVENUTO
MYP Assistant Head for learning and academic excellence
“Creating a positive, inclusive, and engaging school environment where students feel supported, connected, and empowered to succeed both academically and personally.”
PAUL IACCO
MYP Assistant Head for student engagement
“The function of education is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically. Intelligence plus character—that is the goal of true education.”
SARA CASAGRANDE
Head of DP & DP Coordinator
“Education is for all, and inclusion is about belonging. The mission: to remove barriers and foster an environment where every child and adolescent feels seen, supported, and empowered to navigate their learning journey with dignity and joy.”
