Arrowsmith Program
At River Valley School, we offer an optional part-time Arrowsmith Program specifically designed for Grade 2-6 students with identified learning challenges.
In Grades 4-6, RVS students enjoy daily Arrowsmith ‘Brain Power’ sessions, like a fun gym workout for their brains! Each 30-minute session hones a different cognitive skill, boosting their learning power every day.
Our Arrowsmith-certified teachers leverage the science of neuroplasticity to retrain the brain, providing students with the tools they need to succeed both in the classroom and in life. River Valley School is proud to be the only school in Alberta offering the Arrowsmith Program.
Barbara Arrowsmith-Young is the Creator and Director of Arrowsmith School and Arrowsmith Program. Arrowsmith-Young is recognized as the creator of one of the first practical applications of the principles of neuroplasticity to the treatment of learning disorders. (learn more)
