From the moment we entered James River Day School for our initial admissions tour, we knew that this school was a special place. The faculty, staff, and, most especially, students were happy and engaged and very, very welcoming. The most amazing part is that not only does James River provide an enriching and nurturing environment, but it does so while providing an academically rigorous education that prepares students for high school and beyond.
My children benefitted from the small class sizes that allowed their teachers to really get to know them, their personalities, and their academic strengths and challenges. This individualized attention by the faculty played a significant role in my children's academic growth and success. The faculty care deeply about each student and it shows.
I am so glad that we made the investment in our children's future by choosing James River for them!

My wife and I were impressed by James River from the moment we toured. When our eldest child was about to enter middle school, we decided to look at options during this pivotal time in development. We were amazed by the way students effortlessly interacted with one another and with all the adults in the school. Their confidence and kindness went beyond what you'd expect from middle schoolers.
As time went on, our admiration only grew stronger. The professionalism, thoughtfulness, and nurturing environment provided by each of our children's teachers was impressive. We can confidently say that investing in James River was one of the best decisions we've made. It has truly laid a solid foundation for our kids to thrive in today's world. We feel fortunate to be part of such a remarkable community that has had such a positive impact on our children's lives.
