"Rivendell truly feels like an extension of our family. We couldn't be happier with our experience here.
Academically, the blended classroom approach provides effective individualized learning, ensuring our children thrive at their own pace. The best proof is that they are excited to go to school every morning. The faculty is exceptional, staffed with outstanding teachers who truly care about every student's development and well-being."
"We wholeheartedly recommend Rivendell School to any family looking for a place where academic rigor meets genuine heart."
"I had three children attend Rivendell from preschool through 5th grade. They always loved coming to school! They were academically and socially engaged. Rivendell's hands-on, individualized learning approach was a perfect fit for my kids. The teachers always met them where they were, and challenged them appropriately so that they met their potential. As they moved on to middle school they were confident self-advocates! Two are now adults, and the third is enjoying middle school to the fullest. All three still talk about their years at Rivendell and the amazing experiences and teachers they enjoyed."
Helping children achieve academic and personal excellence through individualized education.
Founded in 1976, Rivendell School is the only independent school in Northern Colorado. Thanks to the vision and hard work of our state-licensed teachers and volunteers, we have proudly helped thousands of children grow into well-educated, imaginative, caring, and responsible citizens.
At Rivendell, we believe that:
- Each child is unique.
- Academics are a function of ability, not age.
- As children work and learn different academic skills, these concepts are to be mastered and internalized.
- Concepts need to be mastered so that knowledge and skills can be applied to deeper learning
- In order for children to become lifelong problem solvers, each child must experience the process of formulating answers to academic and social problems and test these in a safe environment. Through this process they learn how to make better choices, and like the proverb, learn "If at first you don't succeed; try, try, again."
- Learning is a cooperative effort of the child, teacher and parent. Throughout these interactions respect of the individual is modeled and learned.
