Parent Support of Rivercrest Preparatory “This is no exaggeration, we have experienced everything from public, private, to home school, an aviation academy and honestly Rivercrest has been the best on every level. The organization with everything is amazing. Which is awesome considering this is the first year. But the staff that has been selected for this school is the best!! It’s such a relief for a parent to have peace of mind knowing that our girls are very well taken care of. Also because we have had traumatic incidents that left them all traumatized and this school is helping them past that.”
