A first generation Italian-American, Chiavaroli began working at Global Education Sports Partners in 2022, initially working as the country coordinator for Italy.

Fluent in English, Italian and French, Chiavaroli soon began making connections in additional countries. He gradually began taking on more responsibilities and today is involved in every aspect of the operation from contract decisions to placement of students in boarding schools.

In making the transition to GESP, Chiavaroli brought with him a wealth of experience, having spent 20 years teaching and coaching soccer in boarding schools. He began his teaching career at King School in Stamford, CT and later taught at Choate Rosemary Hall in Wallingford, CT, before taking a job at Williston Northampton School in Easthampton, MA where he still serves as the Director of Soccer.

Chiavaroli developed a love of boarding schools through his own experience as a student at Choate Rosemary Hall. While at Choate, Chiavaroli also played soccer where he developed a friendship with then teammate, and GESP Founder and Owner, Matt Kokoszka.

The two kept in touch and when Kokoszka was forming GESP in 2019, even though he was working at Williston Northampton School at the time, Chiavaroli was close to what was happening at the company. A few years later, the two friends became teammates again where Chiavaroli eventually became the Vice President and an owner of the company.

Although Chiavaroli had considerable experience working in the boarding school environment, spending many of his years teaching history and coaching soccer, it wasn’t until he took the position at GESP that he developed a greater understanding of the most important factors to take into consideration when considering placement of students into a boarding school. Still, he said his professional experiences have helped him strive to do his best in assisting GESP families, and the students themselves, find the best fit and achieve success.

As the company has continued to grow to include hundreds of clients, one challenge has been providing personalized attention to each of them. However, he and the rest of the GESP team still take pride in providing that to the students and families.

“We care a lot about making sure that every family has a good option for their child,” Chiavaroli said. “We are talking about parent’s children. These are really, really important people in the parent’s lives and so you want to do a good job of finding the right fit for their children.”
