The River School

The River School, located in Washington, D.C., has been providing a strong educational foundation for children aged 18 months to Grade 3 since 2000. Recently, the school has expanded to include an Upper Elementary program for Grades 4-5. The school's inclusive program encourages collaboration, critical thinking, and confidence building in each child. The unique co-teaching model pairs a master's level educator with a speech-language pathologist in each classroom, focusing on language, literacy, and social skills development.

Children at The River School are actively engaged in learning, working in groups, problem-solving, and building the confidence to take risks and share ideas. The school emphasizes strong relationships between children, faculty, administrators, and families, enhancing personal and academic success. The school also focuses on social, physical, and creative development to provide a well-rounded education for each student.

The River School has been recognized for its commitment to justice education and received grants to ensure equity and access for children with hearing loss. The school is dedicated to providing a supportive and enriching environment for all students to thrive and find their voice.
