Riverdale Baptist School has been a nurturing and academically enriching environment for my grandchild. The teachers truly care and go above and beyond to ensure every student feels supported and seen. What sets Riverdale Baptist School apart is the strong sense of community and shared values that make families feel at home from day one. My granddaughter has grown in academics and faith in God. There is not one thing that I would change.

Even through our 2020 year (Covid and all) RBS had us prepared to keep learning from the beginning of the pandemic....
