Introduction
Riverside School offers a secular, bilingual education for students from age 2 to 18, preparing them for Cambridge IGCSE in Years 9–10 and Cambridge International AS and A Levels in Years 11–12. The curriculum places English as a core pillar from early years, with Portuguese introduced in Year 7, and a strong emphasis on interdisciplinary study across humanities and social sciences. The school operates a 1:1 technology program from Year 3 and participates in the Digital House program in the Secondary School to develop programming and computational thinking, complementing Cambridge qualifications such as ICE and AICE for a solid pre-university pathway. Classrooms are complemented by a broad arts program, robust sports, and frequent travel and exchanges, including a UK Tour. Riverside's motto, Love Thy Neighbour, underpins community service through Love Thy Neighbour and environmental initiatives like Envirothon, fostering integrity, empathy, and citizenship.

Tuition fees by school year (per term / per year group) - Riverside School does not publish a public schedule of tuition amounts by year group or per term on its publicly accessible admissions pages. Detailed tuition figures (per term and annual totals) are supplied directly to families and contained in the school's formal fee schedule or enrollment contract.
Billing schedule and payment terms - The school does not publish a detailed public calendar of billing dates or the exact payment terms. Billing dates, the number of instalments, due dates, late-payment conditions, and any discounts or sibling reductions are provided to families in the enrolment paperwork and the school's administrative communications. The school uses an online management system (plataforma.acadeu.com) for administrative processes, which is the platform used to manage family accounts and billing.
Boarding fees (if applicable) - Riverside School is presented as a day bilingual school (Kindergarten, Primary, Secondary) and there is no indication of a boarding or residential programme or boarding fee on the school's public pages. Therefore no boarding fees are published or applicable.
Other costs and fees - No comprehensive list of ancillary fees is published publicly. Typical additional costs that families are informed about during enrollment include: school uniform, learning materials or book lists, extracurricular activity fees, school trip charges, and any one-time materials or registration charges. Precise amounts and which items are mandatory versus optional are provided to families with the fee schedule and enrolment documents.
Refund information - The school's public pages do not publish specific refund policy text. Refund terms (for deposits, tuition prepayments, cancellations, or early withdrawals) are specified in the school's enrollment contract and the school's administrative terms provided to families at the time of registration.
Fee payment options - The school lists an online management system link (plataforma.acadeu.com) for family administration and billing; payment options and accepted methods (for example bank transfer, credit/debit card, or direct debit) are provided to families in the school's fee schedule and via the management system at enrolment. Exact accepted payment methods and any associated transaction fees are supplied with the account statements or enrolment paperwork.
Contact details to request the current, detailed fee schedule - Riverside School provides direct contact channels for admissions and administrative enquiries.

Summary of findings - A search of Riverside School's publicly accessible English-language pages (Home and Admissions) did not return a published fee schedule, tuition table, or refund policy text; the site provides admissions contact details and an administrative management-system link but does not list amounts or detailed payment terms for the current academic year on those pages. Families receive full fee amounts, billing calendars, payment methods, and refund conditions directly from the school during the admissions/enrolment process.

English as an Additional Language (EAL)
Bilingualism is an essential part of Riverside's identity, with intensive English instruction from the earliest years integrated into different learning areas and daily school life. Our students use English as a tool for communication, thinking, and exploring the world, developing confidence and fluency in the language. In Year 7, Portuguese is introduced as a third language, expanding communication opportunities and encouraging openness to new cultures within a multilingual project that enriches our students' education. Through projects, activities, and classes, English learning is integrated across the curriculum.
Mental Wellbeing
Emotional well-being is supported by a School Guidance Team (EOE) and the SES programme. The SES Programme fosters socio-emotional skills, emotional management, empathy, and healthy relationships. These efforts promote mental wellbeing and equip students with strategies to manage emotions and stress. Teachers collaborate with the team to monitor and support well-being across the school.
