We urge active student involvement and seek to provide a rich curriculum in academics, arts, and athletics for children of different abilities and learning styles. Our approach to learning incorporates experimentation, simulation, and collective and individual problem solving, as well as traditional lecture, discussion, and skill development techniques - all toward the goal of attaining excellence. Students are challenged to demonstrate their competence in a variety of subjects, with emphasis placed on the written word, throughout their school career. The process by which children arrive at a final product is an important part of their education. The interaction between adults and children is fundamental to Rippowam Cisqua School. Warmth, humor, and compassion characterize individual student-teacher relationships. We encourage communication of ideas and feelings to help develop understanding and cooperation. The adults seek to help children develop self-discipline and sound judgment. As a community, we require respect, honesty, and common decency at all times. Our goal is to graduate students who are confident and knowledgeable lifelong learners. We strive to be a school of joyous and enlightened learning: a place where children come, not where they are sent.

I can't believe the previous poster is talking about the same school. We started at this school…read morebecause our previous school closed and we couldn't be happier. This school is even more academically challenging than our last school and the administration and families have been even more welcoming than we could have imagined. Our children feel welcomed and feel a part of the school community. The administration and faculty care about all of the students and make an effort to know what is going on with all of the kids. Additionally, they have so many great extra curricular activities and special family events (like the Christmas Boutique, Coat Drive for a local Charity, Father Daughter Dance, etc.), that we all feel a part of the community. I can think of no better place than this school to teach my children the basic principles of Catholicism and generally how to be a good person, friend and community member. My only "complaint" is that we didn't find this school sooner.
