School Notes Overview: |
The mission of Riley School is to fully support the needs of young children and adolescents during their critical years of cognitive, emotional, physical, and social growth. Riley School believes that self worth is the key to success in academic achievement, creative expression, personal happiness, discipline, and community service. We champion the ability of all people to collaborate and to help others through cooperative work. We support the ability to recognize and value each individual's unique gifts and talents. We foster a sense of responsibility toward our natural environment and strive to promote all of these goals within an educational setting which provides appropriate adult role models and a secure, loving atmosphere for learning. Riley offers a unique and creative approach to learning. First, it matters greatly how the child constructs knowledge and learns. Then specific skills and facts become meaningful and useful tools for the child. A curriculum that supports this stance is continually evolving based upon the child's interests, needs, and experiences. This in turn nurtures the child's self-worth and creativity, encouraging her/his continued participation in the educational process. ...read more
