Distance Learning at Rivendell

Q: How does a school that values relational learning transition to Distance Learning?

A: With dedicated teachers, engaged students, and supportive parents. We've got that!

Our Distinctives continue to guide us:

Biblical World View - The Bible is still the lens that informs our teaching and how we approach learning, each other, and our challenging times. Classes are still praying together and offering encouragement.
Integral Curriculum - Classes are staying connected, meeting regularly and working through new, essential material in a myriad of creative ways.
Character Development - We are all getting practice in the diligence, resilience, gratitude, accountability, and compassion that we set out to work on this year. Attendance has been almost 100% since day one.
Multi-Faceted Teaching Approach - Scavenger hunts and other new, engaging activities are introduced regularly. Technology is provided to families who need it.
Being Known - Our teachers connect by staying in tune with each student, some even dropping off material and encouraging notes at homes. Small group sessions assist with this goal.
Required Parental Involvement - Our parents are involved in new and profound ways as they shepherd their children at home and stay engaged with the tasks and activities of the virtual classroom.

“I wish it need not have happened in my time,” said Frodo.

“So do I,” said Gandalf, “and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to do is decide what to do with the time that is given us.”
