Riverside School

Riverside School is Virginia's most trusted school for dyslexic students in kindergarten through eighth grade. An independent day school based in Richmond, Va., Riverside's mission is to provide remediation of language skills for students with dyslexia and similar language-based learning differences in grades K-8, so that they can return to mainstream education fully prepared to realize their highest potential. Riverside provides a tailored curriculum and utilizes the Orton-Gillingham (O-G) Approach to support the needs of students. With this in mind, Riverside's teaching approach is dedicated to providing small classes, individualized curriculum, one-on-one instruction, and a nurturing environment to enhance the learning experiences of children with dyslexia. Riverside's hallmark one-on-one Language Fundamentals (LF) instruction uses the O-G Approach to build close teacher-student relationships to allow for continuous feedback and positive reinforcement, leading to high success rates, increased self-confidence, and a bright future for children.
