Head of School About Riviera Schools Our mission at Riviera Schools is to challenge, support, and inspire each student to achieve personal success, act with integrity, and serve others.

Riviera is known throughout the community for its long tradition of educational excellence. While Riviera has established a reputation for excellence in academia and serves as a leader in education and in the community, Riviera may be even more well known for the learning environment it creates for the students.

Riviera provides an intimate and comfortable setting in which the students are both challenged and supported.
