Riverside Adventist Christian School

Choosing a school for your child is one of the most important decisions you will ever make.  Riverside is a learning community that is committed to providing high quality Christian education designed to meet the needs of students who are navigating their way through the 21st Century.

In these times, there are many uncertainties about what the future might hold for our next generation.  With a backdrop of family instability, economic downturns, increasing violence, anti-social forces, climate change and a dynamic employment landscape, it would be easy to lose hope.  In the Bible, however, we read about a God who sustains, restores and empowers.  His plans are eternal and under His care we can be full of hope.

More than ever before, the nature and character of your children’s learning will impact their happiness and preparedness for adult life.  The education Riverside provides fosters more than just academic and physical growth.  Our holistic program addresses the deeper needs of education.  This is a rare environment offering a safe, family feel that nurtures students towards being productive, resilient and successful contributors to their world.

Located conveniently in Aitkenvale, Townsville, away from traffic noise in a tranquil pocket of greenery beside the Ross River, Riverside Adventist Christian School offers a private education with a touch of uniqueness. Our desire, through practical skill development such as gardening, community service and opportunities for creativity, is to build healthy, balanced learners.  We promote personal growth through a supportive, nurturing community, rather than competitive self-promotion.

Riverside Adventist Christian School is situated on the secluded grounds of the Riverside Convention Centre on Leopold Street in Aitkenvale, Townsville. Riverside Adventist Christian School offers an outstanding open yet secure environment for education featuring great facilities and a complete primary education from Prep to Year 6.

Riverside Adventist Christian School has maintained a tradition of excellence for over 40 years. It is noted for its caring Christian environment, its highly qualified and professional staff and outstanding academic results. The School is committed to helping every child reach their full potential. To this end, the school has small class sizes with a maximum of 25 students per class. Enrolment is open to all families who have regard for the Christian ethos and the culture of the school.

The school is a member of Independent Schools Queensland (ISQ) and is regulated by the Quality Adventist Schools (QAS) Framework. We proudly teach from the National Curriculum to ensure that our learning is at the forefront of education. Importantly, the school offers one of the most competitive fee structures of any private school in the Townsville area and provides the students with all their basic stationery and all text books.

The aim of Riverside Adventist Christian School is to promote a redemptive relationship between each student and Jesus Christ as an integrated part of their academic, social and physical development.
