You may know Idaho as the home of great potatoes, but did you also know that Idaho is home to amazing outdoor recreation opportunities, is a vibrant and safe place to live, and has four distinct seasons? And right in downtown Boise, Idaho's capitol city, there is an amazing opportunity for students to start their next adventure: Riverstone International School. Did you know that... Boise and the surrounding area boasts an enviable size with about 600,000 residents. We live in the third largest city in the Pacific Northwest; the crime rate is low, and the average commute time is just 18 minutes. Outdoor recreation, from hiking and backpacking to fishing and skiing, is literally minutes away; world-class ski resorts are within an hour's commute. Riverstone International School's new residential dormitory is located right in downtown Boise, close to shopping, galleries and theaters. Our downtown has a thriving art and music scene in addition to great restaurants, farmer's markets, and sports events. Boise is front and center on many ranking lists related to liveability and safety. Please read more in the section below. Riverstone's International Baccalaureate curriculum is academically excellent, and when combined with a strong focus on community engagement, leadership opportunities, international understanding and outdoor education helps our students stand out on their college applications.
