Rivendell Overview An Overview of Rivendell School Rivendell School is a private, non-profit elementary school providing children a superior education through individualized instruction. All classroom teachers are certified by the Colorado State Department of Education. In addition to our eight classroom teachers we have supplementary teaching specialists in Computers, German, Math, Music, Physical Education, and Spanish. Group instruction in other subjects is minimized, enabling students to receive individual attention as well as develop self-reliance.
Students work together on cooperative projects and with book partners.
Proven Reading and Math Techniques. An innovative phonics-based reading program is used, supplemented by a language arts curriculum of writing, literature and spelling. Math concepts are introduced in small groups using manipulatives and reinforced through practice, always working with concrete first and moving to abstractions. Teaching is done in focused units on a wide range of topics, allowing students to integrate facts into practical knowledge. Classes explore topics that integrate science, history, geography, language arts, and fine arts.
