Welcome to Riverbend
Riverbend has been a neighborhood school for nearly seventy years. Our classrooms are small on purpose: teachers know every student, and students know they can ask anything.
We teach reading, writing and mathematics with care, and we make room for the things children remember for the rest of their lives: science you can touch, music in every grade, and an afternoon a week outside on our own river trail.
Come and see for yourself. Tours run every Tuesday and Thursday morning.
