Rivendale Curriculum

 
Education isn't about memorizing facts; it's about teaching children how to learn.  Teaching the whole student is just the beginning.  We believe in tuning the curriculum to the individual.  Numerous learning factors are considered: sensory modes, (tactile/kinesthetic, visual, auditory), physical needs and emotional needs to name a few.
 
Curriculum is interdisciplinary, linking traditional subjects to current events in the student's life.  Generalization learned skills into the community is practiced frequently.  Real life question forming and problem solving are encouraged in an atmosphere of cooperation.  Students are expected to respect and help one another.  Our students make choices and decisions, take responsibility, and then evaluate themselves.  Student success, both personally and academically, is expected and affirmed.
