We absolutely love Riverbend Academy. Our two children attend (one in elementary school and one in preschool) and we are very happy with the classic Christian education they receive. The children also attend music class (and additional lessons are offered by the Riverbend Conservatory of Music). The teachers and staff are very responsive and concerned about the children. Each year they add more and more activities for student life. For instance, this year there was a Christmas shop for students, a fishing club, and running club. This school has been a blessing in our lives and am so happy with the decision we made to send our children there.

I am so thankful for Riverbend Academy. We are a family of 4 and 3 of them presently attend. As soon as he is old enough, the 4th will be there as well. I really can't say enough great things about They focus on traditional education that goes beyond the classroom to teach our kids life skills based on the Christian Faith. The principals learned, and taught, are the foundation to life and success. On top it off, our kids are learning a great pace and the individual attention they receive is impressive.

I have 2 children in this school and they have attended for the last 6 years. The education is top of the line, the staff is fantastic, and the students they interact with are polite and enthusiastic. I would recommend this school to anyone. A Classical Christian curriculum is the best way to prepare a child for success in career and life.

I am sure that this is a great school. How dare anyone judge it based on diversity. Ckeck out FAMU , the BET station , Freaknic nobody says anything about diversity then only when the majority is white. Nobody also
Posted: January 28, 2014
My heart breaks to see the lack of diversity within the student body and staff/faculty. This is not a true representation of Gods family. How will these children learn how to interact, learn, do life with, or serve God alongside all of His children if the school doesn't equip them by creating a learning environment that better represents Truth. At least make it look like you are trying to adopt a more diverse environment...unless you're just too afraid of what might happen. Trust God, I challenge you. -Nobody
