At Richmond Primary School, our mission is to provide children an opportunity to build a strong academic, social, emotional, and spiritual foundation in an enviornment that builds community, fosters creativity, accommodates differences, and values the development of the whole child.
Class Sizes
With small class sizes and a high teacher-student ratio, we meet children where they are, accommodating needs for extra support or extra challenge. Every child and his or her circumstances are known well, so teachers are aware when differentiation is needed. Our maximum class sizes are:
- K-5th: 12 students
- JK: 10 students
- 3 and 4 year-olds: 8 students
Curriculum
We teach nationally recognized curriculum programs that we intentionally select to support long-term memory, develop the whole child, and align with our mission. We balance rigorous academic work with a low-technology approach, embracing art, nature, outdoor time, developmental play, and a no-homework philosophy. This model no only supports family time and extracurricular activities outside of school, it also facilitates the synthesis and retention of knowledge and skills developed during the day.
Anticipated Growth
We anticipate adding a 6th Grade section for the 2027-2028 school year. Currently, we have one section per grade, except for two smaller grades that form a combined class with differentiated curriculum. Our vision is to serve students aged 3 through 8th Grade, with multiple sections per grade as needed.
Community
At Richmond Primary School, we believe a strong school community is just as important as a strong academic foundation. We are a small, close-knit community where every student is known, valued, and cared for as an individual. Our teachers know their students well, our families know one another, and our students have opportunities to build meaningful relationships across grade levels. We believe education is most successful when teachers and families work together, communicate openly, and share in the joy of watching each child grow. From school traditions and special events to everyday moments in the classroom, our families are an important part of the RPS experience. As we continue to grow, we are committed to preserving the sense of belonging that has been at the heart of Richmond Primary from the very beginning—a place where students can thrive, families feel supported, and our entire community feels a little like family.
Faith
We are a Christian-based school where faith is woven into our everyday lives, supporting values such as gratitude, kindness, and respect. Our hope is that our students build compassion, strong character, and awareness that they are unique and loved by God. We celebrate virtues of the month and students attend chapel once a week in the church sanctuary. Focused on providing an excellent education in aw arm, inclusive community, we strongly welcome non faith-based families and those of other faiths.
