"We chose Riverside because everybody we spoke with always had a sense of family here. He's the only child. So being here felt like he had brothers for life. It's been the greatest relief to see my son grow, learn discipline, responsibility, time management, but also never losing who he was. If you want a place where you know our son is safe, is going to have great mentorship, and be surrounded by strong, great men. Riverside is the place to go."
- Alessandra Thomazini, on Riverside's impact on her son Giovanni, Class of 2025
