We cultivate curiosity, independence and the ability to find your way in a complex world. We fervently believe in a school opening roads rather than pigeonholing ideas.\nFor us, educating means preparing individuals to live their lives fully, to contribute to society with responsibility and vision, and to experience the world with an open mind and vigilant heart. "},{"label":"","title":"","subtitle":"Manifesto of the navigators of the world<\/em>","text":"We were born free.
To think. To act. To get moving.
With no anchors to hold up the mind, with a blank ocean before us on which to write our own story.\u2028
We were born free to emerge, to try out theories in first person, to experiment. We speak the language of explorers, who aren\u2019t satisfied with words used simply to communicate.
The unknown summons us, and we go looking for it, but this isn\u2019t thoughtlessness. It\u2019s knowledge. And that\u2019s what makes us free. \n\nWe are travellers who know the way back home.\nExpert sailors with their sails full \u2013 of questions.\nWhat if we were to challenge the currents? What if we changed direction? What if other routes existed? \nWe have a compass in our chest which lets us go forward without getting lost.\n\nBetween our fingers, a tiller pointing towards what we do not yet know.
In our minds, the horizon seems to stretch to infinity.
We were born free. Independent, but together, to take on the same voyage, like sailors below decks. Ready to leave behind the conventional; deeply attached to one thing and one thing alone: freedom. \n\nWe were born free, and that\u2019s how we mean to stay. The world lies before us. That\u2019s where we are headed."},{"label":"","title":"","subtitle":"Freedom, knowledge, creativity, flexibility and responsibility","text":"This is what we believe in.<\/strong>\n\nAt Rootes School, these values are not affirmations: they\u2019re daily practices. You find them in our classrooms, in our way of teaching, in the relationships between the adults and the kids, in our interdisciplinary projects and in our shared moments of school life. \n\nCutting through the seas \u2013 Freedom<\/strong>\n
Real freedom has deep roots.
At Rootes School, we teach young people to approach the complexities of the world with awareness: because only those who have taken knowledge on board can really get their bearings and make choices.
Freedom is not only autonomy: it\u2019s the ability to act with intelligence wherever you are. We encourage our students to think critically and laterally right from the beginning, so that they have the necessary skills to navigate the globe and influence it positively.
We believe in a bilingualism which goes beyond language: Italian and English are bridges to an authentic understanding of cultures and different ways of thinking.
Today, we are educating the citizens of the world: aware, creative and responsible citizens, ready to contribute actively to tomorrow\u2019s society.\n\nInterpreting nautical maps \u2013 Knowledge\n<\/strong>Knowledge is not simply accumulation, but deep understanding. We build settings for learning which stimulate intuition, join together varying disciplines and connect branches of knowledge.\n\nTacking \u2013 Flexibility\n<\/strong>Flexibility doesn\u2019t just mean adapting to today\u2019s changes, but also an ability to face challenges with agility and so grasp opportunities and maintain balance. By adopting a flexible approach to learning and to life, we can bring on and direct change, and develop a resilient and versatile mentality. \n\nOpening new routes \u2013 Creativity\n<\/strong>Imagination is the engine of change. We promote a solid creativity which starts with ideas and moves to action, and treats mistakes as opportunities for learning.\n\nSteering \u2013 Responsibility\n<\/strong>Being citizens of the world means contributing. Educating responsibly means cultivating respect for others, looking after the environment, being mindful of cultures, and participating actively in the community."}]},{"acf_fc_layout":"icon_columns","title":"Our Team","subtitle":"","background_color":"2","items":[{"title":"MARIAROSA<\/em>\nPORRO<\/em>","image":1200,"content":"Early years<\/strong>\n\nEnglish-Italian","group_title":"MONZA"},{"title":"GILDA <\/em>\nBAIO<\/em>","image":1230,"content":"Primary\n<\/strong>\n\nEnglish","group_title":"MONZA"},{"title":"FEDERICA <\/em>\nTRECCANI<\/em>","image":1232,"content":"Primary<\/strong>\n\nItalian","group_title":"MONZA"},{"title":"KAREN <\/em>\nSILVANO<\/em>","image":1201,"content":"Middle<\/strong>\n\nEnglish","group_title":"MONZA"},{"title":"LAWRENCE<\/em>","image":1202,"content":"Middle<\/strong>\n\nItalian","group_title":"MONZA"},{"title":"CAROLA<\/em>\nSANTAMARIA<\/em>","image":1211,"content":"Early years<\/strong>\n\nEnglish-Italian","group_title":"SEREGNO"},{"title":"LUCA<\/em>\nHUBBARD<\/em>","image":1199,"content":"Primary<\/strong>\n\nEnglish-Italian","group_title":"SEREGNO"},{"title":"KAREN<\/em>\nSILVANO<\/em>","image":1201,"content":"Middle<\/strong>\n\nEnglish","group_title":"SEREGNO"},{"title":"LAWRENCE<\/em>\nSUDBURY<\/em>","image":1202,"content":"Middle<\/strong>\n\nItalian","group_title":"SEREGNO"}],"anchor_id":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"columns","title":"Where we are","subtitle":"Find the Rootes School nearest to you and visit us","background_color":"1","n_columns":"2","items":[{"title_sedi":"","content":"MONZA LONGHI<\/em><\/strong>\n\nVia Longhi, 3<\/a>\n039 380653"},{"title_sedi":"","content":"MONZA RAMAZZOTTI<\/em><\/strong>\n\nVia Ramazzotti, 28<\/a>\n039 9152339"},{"title_sedi":"","content":"SEREGNO MILANO<\/em><\/strong>\n\nVia Milano, 8<\/a><\/span>\n0362 223272<\/a>"}],"anchor_id":"Find the Rootes School nearest to you and visit us"},{"acf_fc_layout":"cta_footer","footer_cta":"generic"}]},"yoast_head":"\nWho We are -
