The Rivers International School Arnhem building houses a primary school, a secondary school and child care (nursery) within one complex. The building was officially opened on 27 March 2017. The interior is designed at child height, with lower windows for the primary and nursery areas, and common spaces such as a library, open learning areas, a canteen, a drama/music room and an enquiry space on the ground floor. A blue route connects the central area with the sports room and rises to the top floor, symbolising the course of a river. The basement contains a gym and staff parking, freeing space for playgrounds and schoolyards; outdoor spaces include rooftops activated for outdoor activities and other differentiated play areas. There is potential for future extension.
The basement houses a gym and a dedicated sports room connected by the central blue route. Outdoor spaces include playgrounds and areas on the building's roofs for outdoor activity. The blue route provides direct access between the central spaces and the sports facilities across floors.
There is a central library and diverse open learning areas linked to the central community spaces. The ground floor hosts a drama/music room and an enquiry space. The interior is designed on children's height, with lower windows for the primary and nursery areas; the secondary level is located on the upper floor.
After-school activities are offered, including Rivers Band, Rivers Cafe and Model United Nations.
