The River School Blog: Where Small Steps Become Giant Leaps


Welcome to the River School Blog! Here, we'll share a glimpse into the vibrant world of learning that unfolds within our walls.


Growing with Our Students


We're excited to announce the expansion of our program!  Since 2000, we've fostered a love of learning in children from 18 months to Grade 3. Now, we're proud to offer an Upper Elementary program (Grades 4-5)! This expansion allows us to continue supporting our students as they take those giant leaps in their educational journey.


Learning Through Collaboration and Exploration


At River School, we believe in fostering a love of learning that extends far beyond textbooks. Our inclusive program challenges students to work together, think critically, and embrace their unique curiosities. We create a safe space where students can take risks, find their voices, and develop the confidence to become lifelong learners.


A Unique Approach to Education


One of the things that sets River School apart is our co-teaching model. Each classroom is led by a master's level educator and a speech-language pathologist. This powerful duo creates a dynamic learning environment that strengthens language, literacy, and social skills – all crucial building blocks for success.
