About Our Elementary School

Riverside Christian School has been welcoming children and their families for over 50 years. Located in the Yakima neighborhood of Central Washinhgton, Riverside sits on a parcel of land in seclusion from downtown. The intimacy of the school promotes good habits keeping students goal oriented with no distractions. Riverside offers students an opportunity to excel in an environment that encourages creativity, responsibility and community.

Many families have chosen our school because of its moderate size, instrumental music program, visual arts focus, strong parent support and involvement, and the high quality education provided to our students by a highly qualified staff. Riverside is committed to a strong literacy and mathematics program. Specialized support in reading and math are provided in addition to regular classroom instruction. All students take part in weekly music classes provided by our music teacher. In addition opportunities exist for students to participate in Clubs, band, and our several outdoor activities.

Mission Statement

Our goal at Riverside Christian School is to provide a learning environment where students will meet and exceed academic standards, make thoughtful decisions, and solve problems. With these skills, students will gain knowledge, confidence, and self-discipline. Consistent high expectations for both the students academic effort and behavior, combined with strong parental support, will bring success.
