Our program helps girls build confidence through outdoor adventures, encourages them as they explore environmental science careers, teaches them water sports they can enjoy for a lifetime, and shows them the value of volunteer service. Learning from the river, students discover the rich interrelationships between science, history, and culture. The River Program is an integral part of the St. Margaret's experience, from the curriculum and student activities to campus life. Life at St. Margaret's School revolves around the river. The Rappahannock greets you across the breakfast table through the windows of our new dining facility.
Science class brings an opportunity to grow marsh grasses, measure water quality and plant oysters.
You may work on a community service project for one of several environmental organizations during activity block. Once classes are over, the crew team hits the water. The River Program makes St. Margaret's different. If you come here, it will make you different, too. Every student participates in the River Program, working with her advisor to tailor program offerings to suit personal goals and interests.
