2014-2015 Application As educators we know you want your child to attend a school where students are honored and respected for their individual needs and learning styles. At Rivendell School we provide an individualized academic education that is based on the student’s needs and learning pace while allowing the student to progress at their own pace. Small class sizes and multi-age groupings allow us to truly offer an individualized experience. Rivendell students become engaged, creative life-long learners who value their own strengths and knowledge. Accepting others, having respect, and appreciating differing points of views are a few results students take away. While Rivendell School would like to be able to accept all students, we are careful to balance teacher student ratios ensuring all students experience outstanding learning each and every day.
