Riverside has shaped me and many of my peers. It's rigorous structure helps to shape boys into men. I like the accountability it teaches us. I would like to see more cadets enrolled in the corps.

It's been a great experience for our son! We are so happy to find this school. Don't worry about bad review or boarding school rumors! Best way to find out is to attend RMA summer school.

I love it here. I have been here for three years now. I am currently serving as a squad leader in Alpha Company. The faculty and staff here could not be any better. They care so much about us. I love it here so much that I am going to go to the United States Military Academy after graduation.

I am a real alumna, a not parent. I have been to this public, private and this military school. Overall this is the worst one. I'll start out with the good in the school. The academics and diversity are the best qualities. The academics are above average, not spectacular. But the diversity is great....
