For over fifty years, Mery Private School has been an educational and social pillar in the heart of Giugliano in Campania. Founded on an inclusive, student-centered pedagogical vision, the Institute has grown alongside its local community, becoming a trusted reference point for hundreds of families. Today, Mery School offers a unified educational path that spans both kindergarten and primary school, ensuring continuity and methodological coherence.
“The student is at the center of our educational mission,” explains School Director Giovanni Botta. “We accompany each child from the very beginning, creating a personalized path that values their talents, inclinations, and dreams. At Mery, we don’t just educate competent students, but free, aware, and responsible individuals.”
Mr. Botta, Mery Private School is one of the most established educational institutions in Giugliano. What’s the secret to such longevity?
Our strength comes from deep roots: clear educational principles, an inclusive approach, and a constant focus on the evolution of society. In over half a century of work, Mery School has remained true to its identity, blending experience with the needs of modern education. We operate as a single educational path from kindergarten through primary, offering a consistent and progressive experience. The quality of our programs is matched by constant attention to the well-being of each child.
Our tailored approach is supported by qualified, attentive, and motivated teachers who are able to meet individual needs and support each child’s growth. Beyond core subjects, we invest heavily in workshops, language activities, cultural projects, and cross-disciplinary initiatives that enrich the educational journey. Our goal? To shape not only competent students, but conscious citizens, ready to face today’s world with responsibility and critical thinking.
A key figure in this shared vision, from the very beginning, has been your mother, Dr. Teresa Pirozzi, now the School’s Educational Coordinator.
My mother is the beating heart of Mery School. She has always overseen the educational coordination of both kindergarten and primary with passion and dedication. Her attentive eye, her ability to listen to families, and her leadership in guiding teachers with both firmness and balance have been — and continue to be — fundamental to our school’s growth.
She has carried forward a model based on respect, inclusion, and trust. If Mery School is what it is today, we owe much — if not most — of it to her tireless commitment.
In a setting like ours, where early childhood and primary education coexist and communicate, her role is even more crucial: she builds bridges, ensures smooth transitions between school stages, and coordinates cross-curricular projects with a holistic vision that blends experience and innovation.
This synergy ensures a calm, natural progression for students, promoting emotional security and continuity. Above all, it sustains the School’s identity as a true educational community rooted in authentic relationships. That’s why we can say, with complete conviction: without her, the rhythm and soul of our school would not be the same.
Located in the heart of Giugliano, Mery School has always seen its role not only as a place of learning but as a true civic and social mission.
Absolutely. Our educational work is deeply intertwined with the local community. We collaborate closely with public institutions, cultural associations, non-profits, and other schools to develop meaningful, impactful learning experiences.
From environmental education and legal awareness projects to theater workshops and arts initiatives, our school is a dynamic space — open to the world, yet deeply rooted in its territory.
In a context often marked by instability and fragmentation, Mery School remains a reliable reference point. A place where quality teaching, inclusion, and innovation go hand in hand, restoring full meaning to the educational role.
Here, it’s not just about teaching — it’s about guiding the growth of conscious, independent individuals ready to be protagonists of their time.
In an educational landscape often marked by uncertainty, we want to continue being a source of trust for families: a safe, nurturing place where education and care walk together, and where every child can grow with confidence, serenity, and true inspiration.
