There is much more to Riverside than just the unique campus and the special community; we are a school that focuses on experiences that enrich our students’ academic learning and, more broadly, their childhoods. Those “extra” things we do are vital to the Riverside experience. Community giving allows us to maintain small class sizes, provide academic intervention and enrichment, provide a salary and benefits package to retain our excellent faculty, fund our outdoor education and field trips, and much more.  At a small school like Riverside, every donation has a direct impact on our students. This year, we’re asking you to consider all that makes this school special when you make your gift. Thank you for your support.

Please make a choice of how you'd like us to use your donation:

Annual Fund (our current priority): This helps us cover the gap between our tuition income and our operating expenses, and is a vital part of our annual budget.

Heron Fund: The Heron Fund is an unrestricted endowment that we are building for the long-term viability of the school. When the Heron Fund reaches a sufficient size, it is our intention to take an annual draw from it to award needs-based tuition assistance to families that could otherwise not afford to attend Riverside.

Mortgage Principal: With interest rates going up, our mortgage payments are set to cost us nearly six full tuitions every year. Retiring the debt will free up the annual money that now goes toward our mortgage principal and interest and allow us to offset the cost of the extensive student supports we now offer, continue to cover the cost of field trips and excursions for all students, and much-needed upgrades to infrastructure and administrative systems.
