Beautiful campus! Amazing teacher involvement. Everyone wants the students to succeed and will support them in any way they can. Tons of extracurriculars and sports clubs and teams with amazing facilities. (New Pool is beautiful!)
Riverdale has an excellent college preparatory program and prepares its students well for their future endeavors in life. Wit capstone classes such as Constructing America and Integrated Liberal Studies, students will leave Riverdale ready to take on whatever challenges life throws at them. The faculty and staff at the school are so supportive of any initiative that students may want to take on, and the students tend to be as talented on the field as in the classroom.
Riverdale Country School is an exceptional place. Teachers are brilliant and passionate about their field, making for an engaging yet lively classroom experience. The dean of the upper school, KNF, is kind and intelligent, and is always working with other administrators and faculty members to make the school an inclusive place. This school has changed so much for the better since my freshman year and is only continuing to make progress. I came into college prepared and have no regrets attending RCS.
