Welcome Back!
Starting school each fall is always exciting and this year is particularly exciting as Riverstone International School celebrates its 15th year. Our school opened in 1997 with only 57 students in Hidden Springs, and thanks to the hard work of many people, is now Idaho's only school authorized to offer the International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme (PYP), Middle Years Programme (MYP), and Diploma Programme (DP). In 2011, we were recognized by the National Association of Independent Schools (NAIS) for the various ways that we prepare students for the 21st Century. Our focus on critical thinking, oral and written communication, leadership, collaboration, global perspective, digital literacy, adaptability, and integrity has been noticed far beyond the boundaries of Boise. As we celebrate our 15th year, we reflect fondly on the staff, families, and students whose dedication and efforts over the years have contributed to making Riverstone what it is today.
The past two weeks have been a flurry of activity with curricular and computer training, Wilderness First Aid certifications, and facilities preparations. We are looking forward to seeing our students and families on Monday August 22, 2012!
