RILEY MISSION STATEMENT

The Riley School guides children to become independent, lifelong learners and innovative thinkers.


Founded as an intentionally small, progressive, ungraded elementary school in 1972, Riley recognizes each child’s unique learning style. The innovative and personalized curriculum challenges children to express themselves and develop their own intellectual and creative capabilities through discovery, questioning and active engagement. 


 We foster a sense of responsibility towards our natural world, our community, and each other. We value cooperation and collaboration, while balancing the individual's social, emotional and physical development with academic and intellectual growth.


At Riley we trust in children as learners. We honor and respect the uniqueness of the individual. We cherish and protect childhood.
