Riihikallio School is responsible for music-focused education in grades 3–9 in the municipality of Tuusula.

The nickname of Riihikallio School – RIHA – describes the everyday work that is done on every school day during the academic year. The nickname comes from the school’s operating principle, which is ‘Building a Happy Everyday Life with Joy‘.

We take care of our friends and colleagues. Student welfare work focuses particularly on community-based student welfare, without neglecting individual situations and needs. School celebrations and various joint occasions and events help to strengthen community spirit. At Riihikallio School, we want to ensure that every pupil has a safe and enjoyable school day.
