About Riviera Schools

Our mission at Riviera Schools is to challenge, support, and inspire each student to achieve personal success, act with integrity, and serve others.

In 1950, Riviera Day School was founded as a co-educational, independent day school with the highest educational ideals. Today, Riviera Day School serves students PK3 - 5th grade. In 2011, Riviera Preparatory School moved to a new, state-of-the-art facility on almost 14 acres located just minutes away from the original campus and now serves students in grades 6-12.

Riviera is known throughout the community for its long tradition of educational excellence. While Riviera has established a reputation for excellence in academia and serves as a leader in education and in the community, Riviera may be even more well known for the learning environment it creates for the students. Riviera serves as an example of what education should be. It is about the people. It is about relationships. It is about making sure each student can feel and does feel special. Riviera provides an intimate and comfortable setting in which the students are both challenged and supported.
