Direct Instruction Programs


Accelerated programs are the primary block scheduling programs at River's Edge.  District approved courses are offered by faculty teaching in teams with integrated, thematic curriculum.  Generally, there are 34 students assigned to two-teacher teams.  One group is a literacy block for underclassmen, another works around a math/science theme, while the third focuses on language arts and social studies. Afternoon courses and some morning classes follow a more traditional schedule.  The program is rigorous; student centered and promotes strong interpersonal relationships between students and teachers.

All River's Edge High School students have access to programs such as Tri-Tech Skills Center in Kennewick and Running Start at Columbia Basin College in Pasco. Students may be able to access additional courses at Hanford High School and Richland High School.

More detailed information about our alternative programs can be obtained by contacting our principal Dan Chubb Dan.Chubb@rsd.edu or our school social worker Michelle Sorensen Michelle.Sorensen@rsd.edu at (509) 967-6450.
