RVIS achieves milestone of 170 students from 22 nationalities

Riffa Views International School (RVIS) celebrated with the media the start of its second full year of operation and the milestone of 170 students enrolled from 22 different nationalities along with the addition of Grade 6 to the 2009/2010 school-term.

Alfredo Laffitte, CEO of Riffa Views commented: “RVIS stands as one of the key completed elements of the development and we are proud to see the positive evolution it has had since it opened its doors for the first time in September 2008. RVIS and the Royal Golf Club are key components of the lifestyle offered not only to the property owners but to the community of Bahrain. At RVIS children from around the world join together in an atmosphere of mutual respect, friendship and understanding.”

Bruce McWilliams, Director of RVIS commented: “We are glad to share with the media such an important achievement as we have now started our second year of operation. This year the RVIS faculty has established a committee to develop ways in which the school can celebrate and recognize the multicultural nature of our students as we have children from 22 different nationalities. RVIS has set new standards in education for the Kingdom of Bahrain with its exceptional quality open-style facilities that include state-of-the-art technology. This year we will be working hard on the implementation and development of our middle school program.”

At RVIS students have the opportunity to excel academically, athletically, as well as in the performing and visual arts with access to world-class facilities including two heated/chilled swimming pools, a large gymnasium, a 2-storey library with 9,000 volumes, a fitness center, band room, dance studio, 2 playgrounds, and 2 cafeterias.

Riffa Views Celebrates with Residents the Ramadan Spirit

The management and staff of Riffa Views celebrated with the Residents the Ramadan spirit by hosting a Residents’ Ghabga. At the gathering, the residents had the opportunity to meet their neighbors and enjoy the entertainment specially organized for them which included henna and falconer for kids, Arabic buffet, an Arabic tea and coffee area, games and prizes.

As the main villa handover phase has commenced, Riffa Views will soon accomplish an important milestone of villas handed over to owners. This means that progressively more and more members of the community will be residing in Riffa Views as the project is positively progressing.

At the gathering, Alfredo Laffitte, CEO of Riffa Views commented: “We want to share with our residents the essence of Ramadan by remembering the traditions of the community and the country that Riffa Views has become part of. We also want to reiterate to all our homeowners, that we continue to working diligently with the aim of ensuring that key elements of the project, including the villas and the world-class facilities, get completed efficiently, but without compromising the quality that was set at the outset of this exceptional project.”
