The educators and participants of River Springs Charter School believe that the best learning occurs when:

» The parent is directly involved in the teaching / learning process

» Learning styles are tailored to each individual student's needs.

» One-to-one teaching is the primary arrangement.

» Real life "context-based" learning is emphasized.

» There is enrichment through field trips, apprenticeships, cooperative classes, and appropriate uses of technology.

» Schooling is viewed as one aspect of an education.

» The entire community serves as the school campus.

River Springs strives to uphold parent rights and choice in education. Through choice of curriculum, teachers, and program options, parents can monitor materials that affect their children's attitudes, values and beliefs.
