Our mission at Rivertree Academy is to educate under-resourced students to live life well by following Jesus, thriving academically and transforming their communities. Our school was born out of a strong, rooted ministry in the Lake Como community in Fort Worth. We are entering our third year in 2017-18 and will serve 75 students in Pre-K -
5th grade. Generous community partners come alongside our families to help scholarship our children to experience this life-transforming education!

Because of our faithful supporters, Rivertree students are not just preparing for the next grade level. They are preparing for a lifetime of impact.

This fall our 5th graders will become members of Rivertree Academy’s very first 6th grade class. Together, they represent years of growth, learning, friendship, and perseverance. They have been known, loved, challenged, and encouraged by teachers who believe in their God-given potential.

We wanted to share a quick update: thanks to the generosity of our community, we've raised $50,000 toward our $400,000 goal!

We're incredibly grateful for every person who has already given. Your support is making a real difference in the every day lives of our students.

We still have $350,000 to raise and we're asking those who believe in this mission to help us close the gap.
Would you consider making a gift today and helping us finish strong?

Thank you for helping write the next chapter of Rivertree Academy’s story and investing in students!

💙 Fun Fact Friday at Rivertree Academy! 💛

Every year during our Graduation and Awards Ceremony, Rivertree Academy presents the “Love Well” Award to a student who consistently reflects Christ-like love, kindness, and character toward others.

This year, we were honored to rename this special recognition the Susanne Avondet Love Well Award in celebration of someone who truly exemplifies what it means to love well. For more than a decade, Susanne has faithfully supported Rivertree Academy through mentoring students, serving on our board, and investing in our school community in countless ways. Her impact has helped shape Rivertree into what it is today.

We were also thrilled to celebrate Hugo, a third-grade student who has demonstrated this same Christ-like love and compassion throughout the school year. What a special moment to have Susanne present the award to this year’s recipient!

Yesterday at Rivertree Academy, we celebrated two very special milestones as our Kindergarteners and 5th graders graduated! 🎓

We had the privilege of honoring so many of our scholars with well-deserved awards, enjoying beautiful performances from our graduates, hearing inspiring words from the Executive Director of Operation Progress, and cheering on our students as they take their next big steps into Kindergarten and 6th grade.

Our students have accomplished so much this school year, and it has been incredible to watch them grow, flourish, and thrive. We are so proud of each and every one of them and cannot wait to see all they achieve next!

4,173,815 words read this school year. 📖

When Dr. Jenkins announced the launch of the Million Word Challenge back in August, our goal was to inspire a love for reading, strengthen comprehension skills, and encourage our students to persevere. Our scholars did just that and more!

Together, Rivertree Academy students read 4,173,815 words, with some students surpassing 500,000 words individually! Every link in this chain represents the hard work, dedication, and growth of our young readers throughout the year.

We are so proud of our students for rising to the challenge and becoming stronger, more confident readers each day.

Mentors and their mentees at the beginning of the year vs the end of the year! My, how these scholars have grown!

At the beginning of the school year, our mentors committed to walking alongside these students with encouragement, guidance, and support. Over the year, we have watched beautiful relationships form and seen our scholars grow in their confidence, character, and faith.

Thank you so much to all of our wonderful mentors who have supported our students. We feel truly blessed!

Fun Fact Friday at Rivertree Academy!

Did you know that volunteers have been a part of Rivertree Academy since our very first school year? From helping in classrooms, to encouraging students and supporting staff, they truly are the heartbeat behind our school community.

Earlier this week, we had the joy of hosting a Volunteer Appreciation Luncheon to celebrate the incredible people who faithfully serve our students and families. We were especially honored to recognize Ms. Bettye, who serves at Rivertree every single day through our partnership with AB Christian Learning Center and AmeriCorps Seniors. Her dedication, kindness, and commitment to our students make such a meaningful impact on our school each day.

Fun Fact: Rivertree would not be what it is today without the generous hearts of our volunteers.

Fun Fact Friday at Rivertree Academy!👩‍🏫👨‍🏫

Did you know that Rivertree Academy is more than a school? It’s a community where teachers are encouraged to build relationships, inspire curiosity, and make a lasting impact in the lives of students and families every single day.

From hands-on learning to Christ-centered mentorship, our staff members play an important role in helping students grow academically, socially, and spiritually.

And right now, we’re growing our team! We are currently hiring a part-time After-School Teacher for Monday through Friday afternoons. This role includes supporting homework completion, leading enrichment activities, encouraging Christ-like character, and creating a safe and engaging environment where students can thrive.

Fun Fact: Some of the most meaningful learning happens after the final bell rings.
