Innovation and Excellence in Education
The mission of Riverfield Country Day School is to provide an excellent education in a family-oriented atmosphere.  Students feel motivated and encouraged to learn, develop and mature in a respectful, secure and diverse environment.  A caring, creative faculty and a challenging, integrated and individualized curriculum promote the development of the whole child as a confident and responsible learner.

Riverfield is an independent, nonprofit, co-educational school with no religious affiliation welcoming applicants of any race, color, religion, national or ethnic origin and does not discriminate in the administration of its educational policies, admissions policies or other school-administered policies.

The Riverfield Difference
Riverfield offers an innovative program of active, hands-on learning where individual differences are valued. Our experienced faculty develops an interdisciplinary curriculum from a collection of resources to meet the needs of each individual student. The learning environment is adapted so each student may grow and develop at his or her own pace. In this way, the student's individuality is respected and supported.

Learning Successes Become a Habit
The goal of the Riverfield program is to make success a habit. This self-esteem building technique increases confidence and self-worth and fosters the full realization of each student's potential. A mastery of fundamental skills serves as a foundation for a lifetime of learning. But far beyond ensuring that students master the facts, Riverfield values strong readers, curious learners and independent thinkers.

Families Come First
Riverfield is a family-oriented school, meeting the needs of variety of family lifestyles. The school year and Summer Camp offer programs to continue enrichment experiences with activities before and after school throughout the calendar year.
