Riverstone Community School DBA Riverstone International School

At Riverstone International School, we invest in what matters most – our students -- who range in age from preschool through high school. Gifts from families past and present, friends, staff, and alumni enable us to provide an unparalleled education for our students based on the five pillars of our educational philosophy: academic excellence, international understanding, community and service, leadership by example, and outdoor education.

There are so many things that make our school special and unique, including the following:

• Our innovative approach to education is based on inquiry, personal attention in small classes, a variety of environments in which to learn and grow, and opportunities to apply what is learned to new situations;
• Our team of stellar International Baccalaureate educators, who have been refining and continually improving our curriculum since 2004 when we were authorized as Idaho’s first International Baccalaureate World School;
• Our love for the Gem State and appreciation for the self-confidence that students gain while exploring Idaho’s mountains, rivers, and deserts;
• Our encouragement of students and staff to stretch their wings and try new things;
• Our emphasis on making connections: between subjects, between students in different grades, between our local and international community, as well as between people from many backgrounds and countries of origin;
• Our assurance that every child is known as an individual and given personal attention in classes with 20 students or fewer; and
• Our school community values the journey that each child takes as they grow into young adults.

Our students' success can be measured by our 100% college acceptance rate and our national and international standardized test scores; but more importantly, we reflect on our students' success by celebrating their ability to engage with their learning, their classmates, the local community and the world community.

We were honored by The Washington Post as Idaho's Most Challenging High School and Idaho's Best Private School by Niche.com, both in 2016.

Please come see these things for yourself and see how our students are engaged in their classes, with staff, and with each other. We think that you’ll find that Riverstone is, indeed, a special and unique place where children from preschool through high school thrive.

Riverstone International School is a not-for-profit organization under Internal Revenue Code Classification 501(c)(3). The school is financed by tuition as well as charitable contributions, and has a deliberate policy of keeping school fees as low as possible. Approximately 20% of our families receive financial aid. We are Idaho's only Malone Scholars School.
