Greetings from Riverstone!

As spring break is over and graduation is nearing, our attention is turning to our seniors. They have received news of their college acceptances (see below), are making final decisions which schools to attend, and are in the final stages of preparation for their month-long International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme exams.

Seniors in IB schools around the world will be taking the same battery of exams in their six core subjects. Most are multi-part written examinations with multiple choice, short answers, and essays -- imagine writing essays in math and physics class! Our English and world language oral exams have already been recorded and submitted to be evaluated by examiners world-wide. There is no doubt that these students are prepared for college in the fall!

Next week, we are holding two open houses and invite you to join us. Whether you're here for a first or a second look, seeing our students in their classroom environment will help you see that Riverstone is an innovative learning environment. If these times don't work for you, please call or email me to schedule an individual meeting and personalized tour.

If you are considering our Elementary School (preschool - grade 5), please join us for an open house on Tuesday, April 21 at 9:30 AM.

If you are considering our Middle or High Schools (grades 6-12), please join us for an hop open house on Thursday, April 23 at 9:30 AM

Both events will start promptly at 9:30 AM with a presentation, followed by tours of our classrooms so you can see our students and teachers in action. Please meet in our Elementary School at 5521 Warm Springs Avenue.

Finally, as we are firming up our plans and classes for this fall, it's not too late to apply for admission for your child. We are still receiving applications daily and would love to receive one from you soon.

Please see the Riverstone Facebook page for behind-the-scenes coverage of what's going on at Riverstone on a daily basis.

I look forward to hearing from you soon and to answering any questions you may have.

They aren't afraid to shake things up, that's for sure. Riverstone seniors have a tradition of taking a class photo with a theme that they choose.  

This year's photo was taken at Zoo Boise.
