Riverview school Reviews

Back in 1976 Riverview School was the most horrible experience of my entire life! Today at sixty years old the memories still haunt me to this day! My Parents thought that they were doing something wonderful but, little did they know until after I graduated in 1978 the pain that I endured during my three years at Riverview some of the staff were just as cruel as the students were mainly the housemothers. As I look at Riverview and how much that it has grown through out the years it looks warm and inviting real dorms and beautiful landscaping . I'm sure that the students are treated so much better then we were treated . I wish that I could say how cheated I feel at not being able to enjoy my Senior year when it was nothing but, a horror , parents I urge you to speak to your children in Private on the phone without the staff listening in to your very private calls from Your kids we did not have this luxury back in 1976 house mothers listen in to your calls and etc. Please take into consideration the needs and wants of your Children so that when they leave Riverview that can say tboarding at school and learning was the most awesome experience of their life.

I love this school and my friends. However sometimes I feel like GROW doesn t have independence It is a great school though. I would recommend this, and visit anytime after I graduate

Our son is entering his 3 school year as a resident at the Riverview School. He has grown and matured a great deal since entering Riverview, both academically and socially. He now has a great group of friends and is excelling a great deal inside the classroom and out. Whether you are looking for a day or a residential program for your child, I highly recommend Riverview for your exceptional child, truly a special place!

I was there in 80s, it was horrible. My parents thought they was doing a favor
They where wrong.
I don't recommended this school. They where horrible to me.

I like this school because there are activities that students can do and learn. the staff here are very nice and helpful when you need it. and you can learn about independence to help you in grow. the food is excellent and I recommend this school.

Riverview is my brothers school and it is absolutely amazing. He has improved so much, both socially and academically and all the kids there are great. It's exactly like a real high school with sports programs, fine arts and more. The campus is beautiful and I don't think there is another school out there for special needs kids that would be better. Also, check out their new restaurant Cafe Riverview for amazing meals and even better service :)

I love all the things that this place offers. my favorite activity is band and chorus. I love band because if I am having a tough day at school i know that I can go to practice and let all my stress go and play music with friends. thank you to Mr Simpson and all the academic and dorm staff for helping me these 3 years.

all of the staff at riverview is very nice and kind

Riverview School has the very best staff and students to help you become independent and live on your own when you graduate. Went there for 6 wonderful years and they have a lot of activities and opportunities to offer. It also offers the ski trip which is the best! A very good education and dormitory arrangement too!

Not a bad school but not ideal for someone with an IQ above 80 or so. The curriculum doesn't really adapt to individuals needs and the staff seem to prefer the lower functioning students. Yes the community is very nice they make kids feel welcome and feel like their same age peers with things like sports arts the prom and class trips etc. But the post secondary component is truly too basic to be the last school your child will need.
