A School Where
Your Child Can Thrive
Creativity • Confidence • Character
At Riverbend Academy, students are seen, challenged and encouraged to reach their potential.
With a maximum of 14 students per class, our teachers have the time to challenge capable students, support individual learning and create an environment where curiosity and creativity flourish.
Some Students Are Ready for More
They may need greater academic challenge. More opportunities to ask questions. More room to create. Or simply a classroom where their teacher has time to truly know them.
Ready to Be Challenged
For students who are curious, academically motivated and ready to stretch themselves, our teachers can provide greater challenge without being limited by the pace of a large classroom.
Inspired to Create
Art, music and performing arts are an important part of a Riverbend education. Students have opportunities to create, perform, communicate and develop the confidence to share their ideas.
Seen, Not Lost in the Crowd
Some students don’t need a different curriculum. They simply need to be noticed. With a maximum of 14 students per class, teachers know their students and can respond when they need more challenge, more explanation or a different approach.
Strong Academics.
Without Losing Everything Else.
Academic achievement is at the heart of a Riverbend education. Our small classes allow teachers to challenge students, answer questions, explore subjects more deeply and adapt when students are ready to move ahead.
But we don’t believe a strong education ends with academics.
Riverbend students also develop creativity, communication, confidence, character and practical life skills, preparing them not simply for their next test, but for what comes after school.
More Than a Smaller Class

When a Capable Child
Gets Lost in the Crowd
A child doesn’t have to be failing to need something different.
Sometimes they’re getting acceptable grades but no longer excited about learning. Sometimes they’re capable of more but aren’t being challenged. Sometimes they’re quiet enough to disappear into the back of a large classroom.
At Riverbend, a maximum of 14 students per class gives teachers the time to truly know each student.
Our teachers understand their strengths. They notice when they’re disengaged. They recognize when they need more support, and when they’re ready for more challenge.
What Our Students and Parents Say
The level of education at Riverbend is excellent, and our Arts Program really adds something special.
The math program is excellent. They go beyond the standard curriculum and challenge the students to do more.
Imagine a teacher actually communicating every day! And they were actually happy to talk to us when we had a question. We finally know what our daughter is doing at school.
Riverbend has built my confidence and has pushed me academically. I feel prepared for the future.
