Riverview believes the best way to construct knowledge is through experiences. Students are encouraged to observe and explore their environment in a community that nurtures and respects each individual child. Through innovative instruction, RCS seeks to connect experiential education with the art of teaching to create learning opportunities that nurture the whole child and prepare each student for a global society.
