Riverside School

Riverside School is a warm and friendly school which allows for individual needs to be seen to. Bilingualism from Kindergarten up to when the students graduate from High School is seen as a tool to achieve academic excellence. Our premise is to educate combining traditional values with updated skills and encourage students to reach their objectives in an amenable environment.

Students are stimulated from Kindergarten onwards to develop curiosity based on individual interests. Critical thinking and creativity in the solving of problems are fostered because they give the students a solid foundation that allows them to face future academic challenges.

Before graduating from High School, our students sit for Cambridge University international exams, such as the IGCSEs, AS and A Levels which prepare them for enrolment demands in national and international universities.

Through its comprehensive, co-ed, lay, bilingual education, Riverside School aims to educate citizens who are responsible members of society and committed to doing their best.

Our school offers solid academic education based on values such as respect, responsibility, perseverance and social awareness. Learning takes place in a cooperative, cheerful and warm environment that conforms to our school motto “Love Thy Neighbour”.

All these elements allow our students to make better choices in their lives.
