We love Riverside. I used to teach there, and now my own children attend there! The relationship that my kids can have with their teachers is probably the most important reason I chose Riverside. The teachers come alongside us as parents and help guide and direct my children gently, which supports their overall character development. The school has also done a stellar job adding extracurricular options the past couple years. My kids have to pick and choose which great programs to sign up for because there are so many now!
