Thank you for visiting Riverwood Community School!
While the 2020-2021 school year, amidst a pandemic, has been challenging to navigate, Riverwood Community School responded head-on to the demands of the virus through creativity, flexibility, and perseverance. To meet the needs of the children and their families, we began our year in late August by conducting all classes and programs at Riverwood Community Experience (RCE), a 100% outdoor learning environment on 16 acres of beautiful, private property. For three months, we thrived – in person, all students, every day – fulfilling every aspect of our early childhood and grades’ curriculum while successfully mitigating the risks of virus transmission. Immersed in this safe outdoor setting, we supported and strengthened the children’s mental, emotional, and physical well-being. For the winter months, and until we can return to RCE, we have moved back to our main campus where we continue to provide a hybrid experience with most classes being held outside. Our Early Childhood program maintains a complete outdoor learning environment utilizing our enclosed play yard and the surrounding fields, forest, and hills. Grades’ students spend most of their time in outdoor classrooms while still benefitting from some indoor activities. We recognize that in-person learning - where students, families, and teachers feel safe and connected - is what the children and our community needs. Our students are flourishing in an experiential educational setting filled with developmentally appropriate curriculum that focuses on and is inspired by Waldorf methods.

Our curriculum, inspired by Waldorf, is richly artistic, creative and imaginative. Through developmentally and age appropriate methods in a spiritually enlivening environment, we strive to preserve the innocence of childhood and create active, lifelong learners who are morally responsible and who will positively shape the future. Please consider joining our community of teachers, families, students and friends.
