Riverstone International School

This week, a group of prospective students in Brazil (and a few lucky Riverstone staff) were treated to an hourlong high school-level Art class on perspective drawing taught by Tanith Brown. In coordination with @efigieuca, this class gave prospective international students a snapshot of what classes are like at Riverstone. Interested in what it's like to live and learn at Riverstone? Contact Rachel Pusch, Director of Enrollment & Marketing at [email protected].

In Grade 8 Design Technology, Pierre, Anne, and Macy took turns calibrating and operating a drone. From Math and Design Tech teacher Matthew Deren: “Once they get comfortable with the operation, they will move on to more advanced features such as GPS-programmed flight path, follow-the-target tracking, and commercial filming.”

Meanwhile in Grade 3, “students transformed from 3rd graders into water droplets, clouds, suns, ice crystals, and more through Reader's Theater! The classroom became a stage as the students collaborated in small groups to create skits about the water cycle. They applied unit of inquiry concepts while creatively working together to design props, backdrops, and costumes. Reader's Theater challenges students to be communicators and team players. It was amazing to see the imaginations of the students come to life in their performances!”

“Throughout my high school career, I have balanced a job, an organization, extracurriculars, and academics while making the most of the COVID-19 pandemic. Riverstone aims to shape the best student possible and the only way to truly succeed begins with buying into the system while consistently working hard to reach the best outcome possible.”

What are two pieces of advice that you want to give to other students at Riverstone?
“1. Never hesitate to reach out to staff whether it be a funny story, a college decision, assignment status, or general concerns. They are there to give us the best experience possible.
2. Appreciate the small things (the hallway stories, the basketball games, laughing with teachers, and the late night assignments) because one day you will realize no matter how difficult it might have been, you only get to do it once...so be yourself.”

What are three words that describe your experience at Riverstone? “Ambiguous / Appreciative / Transitional.”
