For over 50 years, the Institute has stood as a model of education that combines high-quality teaching, deep community roots, and a strong bond with families. In an era where the Italian school system faces constant change and complex challenges, there are institutions that not only withstand this evolution but lead it with vision, dedication, and passion. One such example is the Scuola Paritaria Mery in Giugliano in Campania—a school that for over half a century has been distinguished by the quality of its educational offering and by its irreplaceable role in the local community. Founded with the mission of providing a complete, inclusive, and person-centered education, Scuola Paritaria Mery is today a benchmark for parents and students seeking an environment where academic excellence meets deep care for the individual.
“At the heart of our educational approach,” explains school principal Giovanni Botta, “are our students. Their growth goes far beyond acquiring theoretical knowledge—it involves their entire human dimension: their talents, their vulnerabilities, and their dreams. Each educational path is personalized, tailored to the uniqueness of every child.”

Mr. Botta, Scuola Paritaria Mery is one of the longest-standing educational institutions in Giugliano. What is the secret behind this longevity?
Our strength lies in solid pedagogical values and a modern, inclusive educational vision. Over the course of more than fifty years, Scuola Paritaria Mery has established itself as an educational leader in the region, making a meaningful contribution to the cultural and social development of new generations. We’ve succeeded in harmonizing traditional teaching principles with innovative methodologies, always keeping students’ well-being and personal growth at the center. Beyond the high quality of our academic programs, what truly sets us apart is the attention we devote to each individual. We tailor learning paths to highlight each student’s abilities, interests, and uniqueness. Our teachers are highly qualified and deeply motivated: they teach with passion and with constant sensitivity to the evolving educational needs of our community, identifying and nurturing the potential in every student. In addition to core academic subjects, we promote lab-based activities, cultural projects, and language and social programs that enrich each child’s educational journey. Our goal is to prepare more conscious, capable, and competent citizens—ready to meet the challenges of today’s world.
How important is collaboration with families to your school?
It’s essential. A truly effective school stems from open, ongoing dialogue with parents. Educating together means building a strong support network around children—based on consistency, trust, and mutual support. Active family involvement strengthens our school community and helps create a welcoming, attentive, and stimulating environment. A school cannot be an isolated island; it must serve as a bridge between family life and society. Only in this way can we prepare young people to face tomorrow’s challenges with competence and responsibility.
Located in the heart of Giugliano, your school has always played more than just an educational role—it also serves a civic and social function.
Absolutely. Our collaboration with local authorities, cultural associations, and other educational organizations is ongoing and intentional, aimed at offering students meaningful and real opportunities for growth. Environmental initiatives, projects focused on civic responsibility and legality, theatrical and cultural activities—our school is a laboratory open to the world, while remaining firmly rooted in the local community. In an educational landscape often marked by uncertainty, Scuola Paritaria Mery stands as a virtuous example—a place where quality, inclusion, and innovation come together, giving renewed meaning to the educational mission. A school that does not simply aim to instruct, but to shape free, conscious individuals who are ready to contribute meaningfully to the future of our country.
