Who will be teaching the students?

Instruction will be led primarily by Robert Heckerl, founder of The Promontory Academy. An award-winning educator, with over three decades in global education, Robert brings a wealth of knowledge, experience, and outstanding testimonials to Bergamo. Working closely with a small team of carefully selected assistants, every student will be known, heard, and supported. Our staffing structure is designed to protect this environment.

Assistants will be chosen not only for academic strength, but for their ability to work in a bilingual environment and support students with genuine kindness, clarity, and care. This personality type is absolutely paramount to everything we have set out to deliver at The Promontory.

We will begin accepting applications for assistantships in the spring of '27 as we prepare for our opening in September '27.
