Notes for Prospective Students
The students of The Riverside School are a community of
intellectually curious and highly motivated learners. In
order to create this community, we seek students who bring: A
positive attitude toward learning to our school environment A
passion, whether academic, artistic, or athletic, to our school
community A desire to be challenged by, and and the ability to work
with, the achievement opportunities that Riverside offers. The
diverse backgrounds of our students enhance the culture of
Riverside and add to the familial climate of our school.
There is no one typical Riverside student; rather we seek to build
a strong community of committed individuals. We look forward to
helping you get a feel for our school, answering all your
questions, and learning more about your child and what he/she could
contribute to our community. The application process is not a
difficult one, but we hope that you will give it sincere thought
and effort. This is what it includes: A visit to the
school: Your child will get a chance to see and feel what it
is like to spend a day here and we will get to learn more about
what he/she is like as a student in class. A complete application
(due March 1; decisions March 15): Be thorough in your
answers so that we can learn more about what your child likes to do
and cares about.A conversation with the Head: Laurie looks forward
to speaking with you specifically about what attracts you to our
school and what kind of commitment you are willing to make to your
child’s education. A faculty review: Our team of faculty is our
admission committee. We consider the written application, a
school visit, records from your current school, and how well we
will be able to meet the needs of your child. We want to
ensure that all students accepted will be successful in this
community.
