students.
- What is important to you in education?
- I want to work with students in an environment
that lets them be themselves. All students should have the
opportunity to demonstrate what they know in ways that works for
them. I think education needs to support all students in they way
they learn and not adopt a one size fits all approach.
- What Defines the
River
School
to you?
-
River/span>
School
teaches the whole child. Every student has the chance to learn the
required subjects while developing a sense of who they are and how
they will interact with the world around them.
