I have been a parent of a Rivermont elementary student and a middle school student. I love the attention my children receive from their teachers and others at the school. I believe the teachers are always placing my children's interest and potential at the top of their priorities. It is so nice to know that the teachers are making sure my children are LEARNING the material, rather than prepping for another standardized test like the public schools. I also love the incredibly safe community I feel at Rivermont. The public schools my children would attend if they were not at Rivermont have already had lock downs, including a 12 year old bringing a gun to school! If Rivermont were not in existence, I would move out of the area as I would not send my kids to any of the other schools in the Quad Cities (public or private). It is true the school lacks in sports, but I believe an education is far greater than school sports.

I love the culture of Rivermont! It has a small, close-knit family of faculty and staff who go above and beyond in serving each other and their community. I have not seen such joyful sacrifice of time, treasure, and talents in a school as I see here. The students of Rivermont receive something truly unique in that faculty and staff care deeply about developing well-rounded, and centered people. This whole person development makes a beautiful paring with our top-notch academic scores.
Absolutely amazing school! Excellent class sizes, and amazing teachers! This place is everything you’d expect a top ranked private college prep school to be and more! We are so thrilled we chose to send our children to Rivermont Collegiate.
