We have been thrilled with the experiences and education that our three children (grades 3,1 and PK) have been receiving in their second year at RCS. The faculty truly take the time to know your child and cater to their needs. we have found the curriculum to be appropriately challenging with a healthy amount of homework. Further the parent association does a wonderful job to ensure that all feel included.

Our daughter is extremely bright, but has mild ADHD that can present in a form of hyperfocus on activities that she enjoys. Rather than looking for ways that she can continue in those activities, and witho...

Rippowam is truly a special school. While COVID initially brought us to Bedford, Rippowam is why we stayed and have decided to raise our three children here. As different as our own three are, the teachers at Rippowam meet them where they are with love and support while also challenging them to be t...
