Riverside Garden School

the opportunity for any child to realize his full potential...

WELCOME

Education is a process that cannot be forced; or treated lightly.

About Us

Riverside Garden School, a private, non secretarian institution for kindergarten through sixth grade students, opened in September of 1963. The growing demand for an academically oriented education stimulated its conception. Today, we continue this mission: to provide our students a strong academic foundation for lifelong intellectual growth.

The faculty is selected on an individual basis. The main factors we consider are character, educational background, teaching experience, and the philosophy of the individual.

SAT testing begins the week after Spring Break. The class scores rank well above the median. 6th Grade students commonly test about 2 grade levels above their peers.

Philosophy

The premise and philosopy of Riverside Garden Elementary is to provide the opportunity for each child to realize his full potential and to develop character and individual growth.
