Curriculum is one of the most important decisions for home based learners. The market is saturated with all sorts of resources and alternatives to classroom teaching, and it can be quite overwhelming to choose what the best curriculum is for your child. With our vast experience over the past 20 years of assisting home based learners, Riverside has a variety of curricula to choose from.
At Riverside we provide a superior alternative to classroom learning that has an individualised home school program for your child. The syllabus provides the necessary learning experiences to successfully progress through the various levels of their formal education.
