ABOUT RIVERTON

Riverton Classical Academy is a tuition-free, public charter school, and a Hillsdale K-12 Supported Founding Effort scheduled to open in August 2027. The mission of Riverton Classical Academy is to train the minds and improve the hearts of students through a classical, content-rich curriculum that emphasizes virtuous living, traditional learning, and civic responsibility. To accomplish this mission, we offer students an American classical education.

American classical schools are defined by the following characteristics:

    1. A curriculum that is content-rich, balanced, and strong across the four disciplines of math, science, literature, and history
    2. The Western tradition is central in the study of history, literature, philosophy, and the fine arts
    3. Study of the American literary, moral, philosophical, political, and historical traditions
    4. Explicit instruction in phonics and grammar
    5. The study of Latin as a requirement for all students
    6. An approach to instruction that acknowledges objective standards of truth, goodness, and beauty
    7. A well-educated and articulate faculty who use traditional, teacher-led methods of instruction
    8. A commitment to use technology effectively without diminishing the faculty leadership that is crucial to academic achievement
    9. A plan to serve grades K through 12 to provide continuity and a recurrent examination of subjects throughout a student’s career
    10. A school culture of moral virtue, decorum, respect, discipline, and studiousness among both students and faculty
