All members of the school community are beneficiaries of the past and guardians of the future.  Donations from individuals are very important to the success of Riverstone and its students.  Tuition fees do not cover all the costs of providing a first-class and unique educational program, so, like all independent schools, Riverstone International School relies on annual gift income to cover the gap between tuition and the cost of educating a student.  In addition, the school relies on capital and major gifts to ensure future growth.  The responsibility for maintaining and enhancing the school's excellence rests squarely in the hands of the members of its community.
