Barbara Valli

With teaching as a life-long passion and goal, Barbara obtained a master's degree in Primary Education Sciences and then completed a three-year course in Waldorf Education at Libera Scuola Janua in Rome.

In her professional and academic endeavours Barbara has striven to combine her two greatest passions: building authentic rapports with her pupils and theatre.

After earning a degree at Milan- based Civica Scuola Teatrale Paolo Grassi and specialising in promotion of culture and theatrical animator, in Bologna, she worked in the theatre writing shows for children and adults.

Barbara has worked as a teacher and as a conductor of theatre workshops in various public and private primary and childhood schools, in Rome and Milan, which has provided her with the chance to appreciate and experience firsthand that the educational relationship is a continuous exchange.

As Seneca said, human beings learn as they teach.

Barbara has been teaching at St Philip School since 2016.
