The mission of the River Valley Charter
School is to provide a rigorous academic program based
on the Montessori philosophy and rooted in the history,
culture, and ecology of the Merrimack River Valley. Students
will reach their full potential as scholars and as self-reliant,
productive members of society. They will be adept at critical
problem solving and will be fully prepared to succeed
in future schools, careers, and civic life. RVCS works
with curriculum partners such as the Massachusetts Audubon
Society, the Maritime Museum, and the Parker River Clean
Water Association, utilizing the vast resources available
in the Merrimack River Valley. These partnerships allow
students to use the community as both a source of knowledge
and a means of applying what they learn. Staffing
The director of the school is Dr. Dale Bishop.
Our head teachers are experienced Montessori teachers
with Association Montessori Internationale and/or American
Montessori Society certifications, and our assistant
teachers have or will soon be receiving Montessori training
as well. In addition to our Montessori professional
staff, our faculty includes special education professionals,
a school nurse, and specialists in art, music, and other
areas as funding allows.
