My children have been attending Riverdale for the past 7 years and we have been extremely pleased with the level of education our little ones receive. The teachers are knowledgeable and caring, the classes are small, and the administration is responsive. Your child isn’t just a number at Riverdale, they’re family. I would highly suggest this school for anyone looking to place their child at a school that will allow your child to flourish!
This is our first year at RBS, and although we are only mid-year, I am very pleased with the school. My son has transitioned well and expressed having a positive experience in his first year of high school. While the curriculum is challenging, his teachers and staff have provided great encouragement. RBS emphasizes Christian values, which are really important in our family and leading a noble life. Some areas of the school are quite dated; thus, the school is in need of a few updates. I would also like to see funding support for the basketball program.
My daughter has attended Riverdale Baptist School since the age of 3. As a aspiring 9th grader we continue to appreciate her Christian base education, dedicated teachers and small classroom sizes. Her Christian base education has helped develop a close relationship with God. Learning and applying the scriptures of the Bible will create a solid citizen in and out of church. Good teachers are the glue that holds the curriculum together. Great teachers get our students excited about learning. I believe this is what we have at RBS, great teachers. All teachers we've encountered at RBS are dedicated and have always done and continue to do what's needed to extract the absolute best out of my scholar. Small classroom numbers is an atmosphere that leads itself to more one on one time from the teacher. We also believe our student is more likely to ask questions in this environment. Thanks RBS for helping us raise a God fearing and productive person.
