At Riverside Prep, students don’t simply come to school, they become part of a complete, lived experience – full of adventure, excitement, camaraderie, tradition, and self-discovery. Every day is a new opportunity to grow, learn, and build. The rewards are as great as the challenge.


The highly motivating and rewarding experience of cadet life extends into our rigorous curriculum that maximizes academic achievement, because we focus on how boys learn best. Though the challenge may seem daunting, our students learn to exceed their expectations as our dedicated teachers encourage them along the way. This way, students who leave Riverside aren’t just prepped for college or their next steps – they’re prepped for life.
