Name: Reilley Berry Age: 13 Grade: 8 I chose: Riverside Student Center Why? To overcome my struggle with math. Reilley says: “I’m getting the help I need and now I’m learning more and more math! I’ve asked my friends to consider coming to Springs to take advantage of the great teachers and different ways we learn.”
Reilley writes poetry, draws, sings, and sews. She hopes to become a designer and a songwriter one day. Her advice to new students is to take advantage of the helpful teachers and students to understand the concepts.
Riverside Student Center provides K-8th grade students with an engaging, blended learning environment, combining the best of classroom instruction with the best that homeschooling offers. Two program options are available:
Mosaic K-8: Kids attend engaging grade-level classes Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Tuesday/Thursday are parent-supported homestudy days that focus on personalized development of mastery and individual project work.
Homeschool Learning Center K-8: Enrichment workshops are offered for our homeschool program students. These fun classes range from core math to arts, drama and project work.
Students at Springs’ Riverside Student Center (RSC) have returned to school after summer break and are enjoying a new campus upgrade: AstroTurf on the playground. Students have been utilizing it for outside learning activities, reported Kim Ballantyne-Morse, principal.
Springs 8th grade Homeschool student Gwyneth Mcintyre, 13, will exhibit her award-winning research project at the Riverside County Office of Education’s Virtual Science and Engineering Fair Expo 2020 event on September 26, 2020. Her project explored what type of toothpaste would protect her teeth best.
The Riverside Student Center’s Aiden and Cassandra Donovan come from an exciting family of broadcaster/podcasters. Their parents, Chris and Evelyn, are involved in the industry themselves, and Aiden launched his own podcast, Aiden’s Arcade Academy, last fall. Aiden reviews video games, father Chris said, and “he really impresses us with some of the info he has stored in his brain.” Shows are less than 10 minutes long; he also has a YouTube Channel, The Boy Aiden.
All of the teachers on site are positive and upbeat; they always encourage and challenge the kids to do their best. They managed to get my non-writer to want to write!
