Education and training are the foundations of a good school, everything that a parent expects to find in the structure in which their child will be enrolled.
Rigola offers this and much more. School services such as pre- and post-school, canteen, bus, and many extracurricular labs which get the child and the tween to be busy at school even when the lessons are over. To learn and grow having fun!
PRE AND POST-SCHOOL
To help working parents children can arrive at school at 7:00 and stay there until 18:30.
Educational, playful and recreational activities are organised for the children of the pre- and post-school to rouse their curiosity and activate their thought from the first hours of the morning and to keep dynamic, clear headed and proactive even in the late afternoon.
CANTEEN
Rigola’s canteen is a service directly managed by the qualified school personnel: every day healthy and tasty lunches are prepared for our children within the school. Nutrition is an essential element in every individual’s growth and this is why we pay great attention to the menu definition and food preparation in order to grant the right supply of calories and nutritional substances for children and kids. The dishes are obviously elaborated according to the guidelines provided by the local ASL and the staff is qualified through a programme about nutritional education.
In order to become aware of healthy, balanced and varied nutrition we promote once a month the festive menu – a wonderful chance to discover new recipes!
BUS
Rigola offers children and kids a schoolbus service for Besana and the nearby towns: Triuggio, Montesiro, Casatenovo, Monticello B.za, Renate/Cassago, Veduggio/Capriano, Visconta, Valle Guidino.
Every year the school evaluates the requests and studies itineraries which can offer an effective service, following the rules related to mobility and carriage of minors.
The parents can contact the secretariat to show interest, then they can arrange a meeting with the school director to learn about the institute, the educational offer and the services, customise the pathways discussed upon and visit the school. At the end of the meeting the parent will formalise the commitment to enrol the child, boy or girl in the structure.
