We want your son to reach his full potential at Riverside

We understand the decision to invest in your son's future through a private boarding school education may be a financial sacrifice and not one to be taken lightly. We want your son to reach his full potential at Riverside, which is why we would like to partner with you and assist in alleviating some of the financial responsibility.

A private school education, offers an unparalleled experience and value to the student, but the cost of this investment sometimes exceeds a family's immediate resources. As such, Riverside offers a need-based financial assistance program to alleviate a portion of the tuition from the families.   

The amount of aid distributed depends on three key items: level of need, availability of funds, and the number of students applying.
