Our children are excelling at this IB school, benefiting from a rigorous curriculum and a supportive community. We've made great connections with other families in the elementary school and look forward to many more successful years.

I have been fortunate to be a student, a staff member, and now a parent at Riverstone. The school has evolved over its almost 30 years, but the same small community that deeply cares about the success of its students continues to be at the heart of everything.

I am thrilled to have my kids attending now. I love that their teachers get to know them so well and see the care afforded to them in the small classes. I look forward to them gaining the same experiences at Riverstone that I did as a student. The international diversity and the outdoor education are two of the most important aspects of the Riverstone experience to me. My kids get to know students from around the world and gain a better understanding of different cultures. They also learn important outdoor skills through exciting and empowering outdoor experiences, I know that they will develop the same appreciation for nature and our world that was instilled in me.

This school is a gem and we are lucky to have such world class academics a d programming here in Boise.

Riverstone International School has been an incredible experience for my child and our family. The staff and teachers are truly exceptional — knowledgeable, dedicated, and genuinely invested in each student’s growth. With an impressive teacher-to-student ratio, it’s clear that individual attention and personalized learning are priorities here.

What sets Riverstone apart is how they empower students to become independent thinkers. The school fosters a nurturing environment where children are encouraged to advocate for themselves, think critically, and take ownership of their learning journey. We’ve seen such a positive transformation in our child, not just academically, but in their confidence and self-expression.

If you’re looking for a school that values student development, academic excellence, and a close-knit community, I can’t recommend Riverstone International School enough!

Being a Riverstone Family for the past 7 years has been a rewarding experience for not only our child, but our family. The primary years education laid a solid foundation for her, instilling curiosity, self-esteem, compassion for others, risk-taking and love for the outdoors. As a family, we have found a community of other families who have become dear friends and a support system through milestones, pandemics and plain old parenting. Entering Middle Years has been a positive experience - our child is known as an individual, nurtured and pushed to be her best self. She is enjoying school, eager to take on new responsibilities that come with Middle Years and is becoming an independent learner and thinker. We are so grateful for this community and the opportunities we have, not only for our child, but as a family.

Riverstone has been an amazing experience for our two daughters. The academic standards are excellent, and the school’s ability to connect and foster growth within each child is something we hadn’t experienced at previous schools. The teachers are highly qualified, caring, and motivated to push each child to achieve their personal best.

We moved to Idaho from another state, and Riverstone has truly helped us to find a caring and supportive community within Boise.

Coming from large public schools in Boise, we really value the small class sizes that Riverstone is able to offer. The teachers seem to want to be there instead of being stressed and overwhelmed. They truly get to know our kids and their unique learning styles. Many of the teachers also send their children to Riverstone, which is a great endorsement in my book! Also very much appreciated is Riverstone's outdoor program. Our kids are getting to go on amazing trips that will set them up with skills to continue adventuring for the rest of their lives. Riverstone is really a special place.

We absolutely love Riverstone International School! This year has been incredible for our son, and we’ve already seen so much progress thanks to the personalized attention and the small class sizes. The teachers really get to know each student, which has made a huge difference in his confidence and learning. The supportive and nurturing environment helps him thrive, and we couldn’t be happier with our choice. Highly recommend Riverstone for anyone looking for an amazing, individualized education experience!

I have had two children attend Riverstone International School from elementary school through middle school and into high school. Both have benefited greatly from the school's academically rigorous IB program, its unique outdoor experiences, and its incredibly kind and supportive student body. The faculty have been very accessible and helpful in personalizing education for each child, and I have seen the results of the education when my children have participated in programs outside the school and received recognition for outstanding performance. I would recommend Riverstone highly and without reservation to anyone looking for an outstanding academic education within a supportive environment that helps them develop a range of important life skills including critical thinking, community involvement, and communication skills.
