The original construction work of the school building was finished in August, 1998 and the extension part will be finished by July, 2017. The modern architechure offers a variety of well-equipped facilities; excellent for up-to-date teaching and learning.

In addition to our 50 teachers there is also a head teacher, an assistant head teacher, a school secretary, a lunch lady, a janitor, a school nurse, a social worker, a psyschologist and four cleaning ladies working in our school.

In Riihenmäki school we emphasize the importance of creativity and openness. The architecture of the school building also brings up a feeling of open spaces and invites teachers to make up new solutions for teaching in a new way. As far as the behaviour of the students is concerned, we do our very best to prevent and interfere with any kind of bullying during the school hours.
