- The Riverside School is dedicated to the ideal that children be involved, enthusiastic participants in their education.
- We nurture and encourage curiosity, creativity, and individuality, and we instill in students an appreciation for hard work.
- We believe that children can learn to be strong, effective leaders, and we are committed to developing in our students the skills necessary to take on leadership roles.
- We believe that students must be aware of and be active in the broader world around them in order to become ethical and compassionate members of society.
- Support for our students' growth as learners, leaders, and citizens must come from every element of the Riverside community, both in and out of the classroom; therefore, we value and rely on the deep involvement of parents, faculty, staff, and administration in the development of our students.
