Accredited Secondary School
In lower secondary school, pre-adolescents grow through self-awareness and interaction with others, recognize their potential and develop their aptitudes, and begin to build a personal life project.
Lower secondary school is the moment when students begin to understand their aptitudes, preferences and inclinations: teachers at Rigola pay close attention to observing each individual student, in order to guide them correctly
in making the fundamental choice of a path that will form the basis of their future, both professional and personal.
In lower secondary school, students approach disciplines as perspectives on reality and as ways of knowing, interpreting and representing the world. They begin to explore complex problems and organize knowledge, with a view to increasingly integrated and mastered learning.
Secondary School Presentation
Area
Students are offered an enhanced English curriculum that includes eight hours per week dedicated to the foreign language: five hours of teaching-learning using various methodologies including Content Language Integrated Learning (CLIL), flipped classroom and cooperative learning; one hour of interdisciplinary projects and two hours of technology. During the first two years, curricular preparation for the Cambridge A2 KET certification is provided. During the third year, extracurricular preparation for the Cambridge B1 PET certification is offered.
AREA
Literature lessons focus on a laboratory-based and interactive approach, with creative writing and independent reading activities. The study of history and geography stimulates critical thinking and the analysis of historical sources, through multimedia projects and the flipped classroom methodology. In addition, the humanities pathway includes an introductory Latin project to develop linguistic and logical-analytical skills.
Cross-curricular initiatives include the reading and creative writing project, theater education and guidance, which helps students reflect on their aptitudes and aspirations for the future. Projects on human rights and celebrations of international days also enrich the educational pathway, promoting socialization and social awareness.
Area
Using computers to communicate, utilize software and participate in collaborative networks is essential for translating ideas into actions, stimulating creativity and innovation. Students, through flipped classroom and cooperative learning, share knowledge and collaborate with classmates. Playful laboratory activities—such as multimedia games, quizzes and manual constructions—encourage active learning, while science hours in the laboratory and outdoors, with experiments and observations, support the development of skills such as cooperation, problem solving and intuition.
Area
Sport is the vehicle used to convey concepts such as fair play, loyalty and collaboration to students. Art plays an important role in helping students open up to the world, leading them to engage critically with others and the culture around them. The approach used is mainly laboratory-based but there is also an important focus on art history. Music, with choral experience and introduction to musical instruments, aims to improve listening and collaboration, enhancing talents and predispositions, also through student involvement in school and extracurricular events.
Educational - Formative Approach
to accommodate working parents, children can arrive at school at 7:00 AM and remain until 6:00 PM. Children can use the after-school service from 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM; during these hours, an educator guides children in playful-creative experiences.
