Riverstone is an exceptional school - in my opinion, the best in Boise. As a university professor, I appreciate the high level of academic excellence with a focus on critical thinking, interdisciplinary projects, and small classes that foster individual learning styles. The skills my son is learning there are giving him an ideal preparation for college and for life.

It is the People, the Place and the Culture of caring and learning that matters Riverstone International School has all that to offer to its students. As one of the proud parents, it brings great confidence that we can turn over the workplace, and our society to leaders coming from students graduating at Riverstone International School, where a great inspiration towards collaborative learning and service to community is clearly demonstrated.

Riverstone was a great environment for our son who really thrived in the small classroom setting, with a rigorous academic curriculum and with teachers who were truly mentors throughout his 8 years there.
Riverstone is the best educational opportunity presented to students in Idaho and beyond. I have taught in public and private schools and so, as a former teacher and as a parent, I can say that Riverstone has its vision, mission and act together.
