Riverbend Prep

The mission of River Bend Prep is to develop life-long learners who are prepared to contribute purposefully to society. Through our innovative curriculum, character education, strong community and parental involvement, we will set students up to succeed in our global culture.
Design: We offer an extended school day and academic year to allow for true mastery rather than cursory coverage of the curriculum.

Curriculum: Riverbend Preps curriculum combines the rigors of solid skill building in the core content areas of English/Language Arts, Math and Science with our award winning, interdisciplinary humanities and social studies curriculum called Paragon. The core curriculum includes the nations top rated Open Court Reading, SRA Math, Harcourt Brace Science, and Spanish. Students receive the rigor of core courses coupled with the hands-on approach of Paragon that enables them to practically apply what they learn in class.

Technology: To master true computer literacy, students require hands-on access to computers as a tool for authentic learning. Riverbend Prep will equip each classroom with computers.

Secure Environment: Safety is a top priority at Riverbend Prep. Riverbend Prep provides an emotionally and physically safe learning environment. We recognize that effective instruction requires an orderly environment focused on learning and that school must support parents efforts to teach their children the principles of excellence. Were committed to providing students with a sense of belonging and a feeling of significance so that they feel safe to learn, to grow, and thrive.

Teachers: Riverbend Prep is committed to retaining star teachers and talented leaders in educational management. All teachers are highly qualified, experienced individuals who have a strong sense of purpose, and a willingness to challenge themselves as life long learners, as they would challenge their students. They compel all students to excel by concentrating on engaging every child in learning and by holding students to high standards.

Parents: Riverbend Prep believes that a close connection between home and school is crucial to student performance. Riverbend Prep expects parents to be actively engaged in their childrens education. Because every child needs stability, continuity and a champion who believes in his or her human potential, Riverbend Prep works to foster a close connection between home and school. Specifically, Riverbend Prep works with parents and other adults with positive influence to improve attendance, to assist with homework, and to intercede at the first hint of difficulty.
