Vision

A caring community in a challenging learning environment

Mission

To nurture all round individuals of integrity and grace, ready to face global challenges

Philosophy

Guided by the school motto "My Best and More" and the school values of Passion, Professionalism, Responsibility, Integrity and Team Spirit, Riverside Secondary School seeks to develop Riversidians holistically through the domains of "Leadership Development", "Aesthetics Appreciation", "Meta-Cognitive Capacity Building", "Moral Values Inculcation", and the development of "Physical Capabilities" and "Social-Emotional Competencies". The distinctive features of the school stem from a curriculum strong in academic rigour, leadership and character development, as well as aesthetics excellence. Character and leadership development is a values-based approach which nurtures the students in the self, social, moral, ethical and citizenry domains.

In nurturing motivated thinkers and inventive leaders, Riverside Secondary School considers student interests and talents, and provide for diverse opportunities within and beyond the classroom to experience learning in authentic settings. The school has customised its instructional curriculum to 'engage' students through creative approaches, 'enhance' their learning through differentiated teaching, 'empower' them to direct their own learning, 'enrich' their learning through our distinctive programmes and 'evaluate' their performance using multi-modal assessment. A range of pedagogies such as Multiple Intelligences, Problem-based Learning and Socratic Questioning are employed. Students also embark on engaging experiential learning activities such as field-based learning and investigative project work. Our Applied Learning Programme (ALP) - 'Global Citizenship Education through Critical Social Inquiry' - aims to nurture ethical leaders with a strong sense of purpose, discernment, compassion and empathy to create a better world for all. This programme includes customised lessons as well as activities for students to sharpen their innate sense of citizenry and develop a global identity, such as social debates, work-attachment and internationalisation programmes. 'Arts for Life,' our Learning for Life Programme (LLP) provides opportunities for our students to appreciate and experience local and global art-forms, cultures and traditions, and to develop a sensitivity to and respect for the world around them. We want them to be creative individuals with perceptual abilities and a wider repertoire of self-expression.
