Community Leadership Program

Integrated Learning. Collaborate Culture.

We believe that the best way to learn is through the community. We often have community leaders visit our classrooms and share their first-hand experiences with our students. This is a great way for us to bring the real world into our classroom. It is important for our students to see how the things that they learn about can be translated into real life. Are you a community leader interested in visiting a classroom? Please email Mr. Sel at sel@rivercityscience.org
