River Valley School was founded on a vision to create a place where achievement stands equally alongside wonder, kindness, and a love of learning—a school that values social and character development just as much as academic success.
While tuition supports daily operations, our community’s generosity empowers us to reach further, enriching every student’s experience. Through our Annual Fund, each family can contribute to impactful projects, including unrestricted Head of School Initiatives that address emerging needs and opportunities, and our dedicated Playspace Renewal Fund, which reimagines outdoor spaces for play, discovery, and growth. Join us in shaping a vibrant future, ensuring our students have diverse and inspiring opportunities at every turn.
Join us in making a difference.

Every family, every year.
When each family contributes in their own meaningful way, something extraordinary is built.
- Your involvement fuels possibility: Our Annual Fund reaches out to all RVS families and friends, inviting gifts of all sizes to enrich our school in ways tuition alone can’t.
- Every Gift Counts: It’s not about the size of your gift; it’s the spirit of your support. Each donation, regardless of amount, has a significant impact.
- Your Participation Matters: When families and staff come together to give—even in small amounts—our collective commitment inspires major donors to join us in funding larger, transformational projects. They’re here to amplify our goals, not take the reins.
- As a not-for-profit, River Valley School provides a tax-deductible receipt for eligible donations. Thank you for joining us in shaping a future where wonder truly lives.
Head of School Initiatives
Goal: $300,000 for 2024/25
Unrestricted donations to the Annual Fund empowers Ms. Breland the ability to address emerging needs and invest in new opportunities. Your support enables us to update facilities, enhance programming, and introduce resources that directly impact our students. As we navigate changes, including upcoming developments around the Riverview Surgical Centre, these funds allow us to stay flexible and ensure every initiative reflects our commitment to the best interests of our community.
Playspace Renewal Fund
Goal: $250,000 for 2024/25
This year’s fundraising also focuses on transforming our outdoor K-6 play spaces into an inspiring environment that merges play with learning. By thoughtfully incorporating natural elements, we aim to create a dynamic space that fuels creativity, curiosity, and connection to nature. Beyond physical enhancements, donations support specialized educator training in outdoor learning strategies, ensuring that our renewed playground serves as a vital setting for both discovery and growth.
