Wellesley High School

Riverbend is an amazing place. It is a kind, welcoming school that provides a deep dive education. The physical campus is beautiful with the outdoor space playing an integral role in the school day. The teaching staff is excellent and your child is truly seen and known. We have seen so much growth in our child since coming to Riverbend. It is an approach that fosters focus, collaboration and intellectual curiosity. The kids are excited to go in the morning, come home tired and happy at the end of the day, independently take ownership for homework and projects. The mixed-aged groups have been an added benefit, with younger kids learning from and modeling older kids and older kids having a chance to be role models and mentors. Really can’t say enough good things.

I’ve worked in several schools, but what stands out here is the passion. Students are ambitious, parents are engaged, and the faculty team is dedicated. The culture is about growth — for students and for teachers. It’s inspiring to be part of a place that is building something unique.
