Our Philosophy.
Learning the facts is not enough. The study of science requires students to engage actively in the learning process. All science courses at Riverside are laboratory based courses, which require students to seek answers to questions while working collaboratively with other learners.

Our Resources.
Riverside has partnerships with UW Milwaukee and the Urban Ecology Center that allow us to offer unique opportunities to students. Our proximity to Riverside Park, the Milwaukee River and Lake Michigan allows our students to learn science in a natural setting.
