River Springs Charter School is more than a school for children; it is a community for families. We were founded by a group of parents and continue to encourage and support the active involvement of all parents in the life of the school. Through the involvement of many, the quality of the programs at the school are greatly enhanced.

As a school, we believe that the best learning occurs when:

• The parent is directly involved in the teaching / learning process
• Learning styles are tailored to each individual student's needs.
• One-to-one teaching is the primary arrangement.
• Real life "context-based" learning is emphasized.
• There is enrichment through field trips, apprenticeships, cooperative classes, and appropriate uses of technology.
• Schooling is viewed as one aspect of an education.
• The entire community serves as the school campus.

River Springs strives to uphold parent rights and choice in education. Through choice of curriculum, teachers, and program options, parents can monitor materials that affect their children's attitudes, values and beliefs.
