Life at The River School
Co-Teaching & Personalized Education
Our co-teaching model pairs a master’s level educator with a speech-language pathologist in each classroom, a unique and effective combination for cementing strong language, literacy and social skills.
Active Learning
Children engage in active learning; they work collaboratively in groups, solve problems, make mistakes and learn from them, and develop the confidence to take risks, share ideas and speak up.
A Community of Learners
Relationships between children and faculty are strengthened by collaboration among faculty, administrators and families.
Progressive Education
By expanding children’s opportunities for social, physical and creative development we enhance their personal and academic success.
