Headteacher’s Welcome
I am proud to offer you a very warm welcome to River House Academy, where an outstanding education has its roots in happiness, kindness and care. We are situated in a lovely wooded location in South Goa, just minutes from the beach where we have built a stunning campus that embodies all of the beauty that Goa and India have to offer.
River House Academy is a purpose built school, years in the planning, that has grown organically from the needs and passions of our children, our teachers and our community. Large, wild open areas have been cleverly intertwined with locally-inspired buildings that seamlessly combine to form beautiful spaces – spacious, bright and engaging classrooms designated for teaching and learning as well as an exceptional outdoor space where children of all ages and abilities can play, explore and learn together.
At River House we want our young people to grow and learn in an environment which inspires them to succeed and thrive in our international and inclusive community, a community which is supportive and nurturing, where school is an extension of home. Through exceptional pastoral care and a belief in the inherent potential of every child, River House staff and students have always built caring relationships based on mutual respect and trust. Small class sizes allow teachers to really get to know our children, enabling us to meet their individual needs and nurture happy, confident young people.
It is my belief that children need to be given the freedom to explore and to discover a world of wonder, to develop a deep love of their natural surroundings, their friends, their community and ultimately of themselves as global citizens. We aim to teach a sense of responsibility by giving students the tools to make a difference to their own lives and the lives of those around them and ultimately to hold wide open the doorways to the future by providing a balance between world class academics and a meaningful preparation for engaging with the world.
As Headteacher and founder of the school I am proud that this balance is a defining strength of River House Academy.
We would love to meet you and show you around our beautiful school! Please feel free to contact info@riverhouseacademy.com to arrange an appointment. We look forward to meeting you.
