About us

Mission Statement

Riverside Christian School is a ministry of Riverside Baptist Church, and we exist to provide children with a Christian education, helping them to develop their full potential in a safe learning environment so that together with parents and staff, we can invite them to Christ, grow them in Christ and send them for Christ.

OUR PHILOSOPHY

Riverside Christian School is responsible for providing a quality Christian weekday educational program for preschoolers that is in keeping with our church’s mission and values. The school believes that children learn through a variety of experiences (Prov. 22:6). Therefore, we provide self-directed and teacher-directed activities that will successfully prepare children for their future educational experiences. A trained, caring, Christian teaching staff will be sensitive to the needs of all children regardless of nationality, religion, background, or exceptional needs (Romans 12:10). We will make every effort to provide everything preschoolers need, in accordance with the school’s mission, to ensure their future success.
We also understand that the families of our students are an integral part of their preschooler’s education and development (Psalm 127:3, Deut. 6:6-9, Prov. 4:1-4). Therefore, the school and church will provide educational and motivational resources to our children’s families.
