ENDORSEMENTS
Rivers Academy is accredited through the National Association for the Legal Support of Alternative Schools.
From a Rivers Academy parent
"In my opinion, it's the only place in town where parents can bring their kids and have complete trust in the schools' safety and supervision, as well as the academics and the people."
From Stephen S. Farmer, Ph.D., F-CCC-SLP
"It has been my pleasure and fortune to work with the students, families, and
staff of Rivers Academy since 2000. The philosophy and atmosphere of the school
have allowed me to develop and refine my ideas about the
DeLta
System (Developing Learners with Dynamic Literacy)
as an educational framework to meet the individual needs of unique K-12 students
and their families. Life and education are inseparable; the purpose of life is
not to find oneself, but to create oneself. The
DeLta
System
focuses on the person (rather than on academic products and processes) and
facilitates the creation of individual learners with usable knowledge, or
dynamic literacy. I am fortunate to be able to work in such a stimulating,
supportive, educational environment. I look forward to further developing and
using the
DeLta
System at Rivers Academy."

From Tommy Shannon, Bass Player
Stevie Ray Vaughan & Double Trouble
"I would like to thank Nema LeCuyer and her dedicated staff for not only
establishing the Stevie Ray Vaughan Scholarship Fund in memory of my best
friend, but for understanding the importance of music - and the positive,
healing energy and enrichment it will bring to your student's lives. I
hope I can come and spend a day with you and your students when my touring
schedule permits.
God bless you all!"
Your friend,
