  The rector is Sabina Nuti, who took office on the 7th of May 2019. Before her, the rector of the school was Pierdomenico Perata, elected on 8 May 2013 after the resignation of Maria Chiara Carrozza, due to her election as Member of Parliament and appointment as Minister of Education, Universities and Research.

Before him, the president was Giuliano Amato, a former prime minister of Italy and currently judge of the Constitutional Court.
  The Allievi Ordinari of the School are selected through a rigorous public examination with written and oral tests, with about 5% admission rate. They are all awarded a full government-funded scholarship which includes accommodation, canteen, research and travel grants.
