This is the best school I’ve ever been to I’m sad that I’m going to leave in a year to go to the high school because I’ve only been here for two years but it feels like I’ve been here since kindergarten teachers have been amazing I finally found good friends who I have my trust in that are not only in my grade but in eighth grade and seventh grade and sixth grade 2 I’m so happy here and I’ve learned so much

I am so thankful to have such a great place to refer the Kinders who leave my preschool! Two Rivers offers experiential learning, is willing to explore how children best learn and what they need. Great staff! Mary Willis Montessori teacher

I have kids in the 6th and 3rd grade at Two Rivers and we love the school. They are getting a solid education in the fundamentals (math, reading, etc) but are also developing resourcefulness, confidence, and a strong sense of personal and community responsibility as well as environmental stewardship. The staff does a great job of engaging parents in the learning process and, consequently, there is such a strong sense of community among the kids, parents, and staff. If you're looking for a school that will help your kids learn how to be active, attentive members of their community and apply their learning to real world situations, this is the place!!

I couldn't imagine sending my kids anywhere else in the High Country. Our teachers and administrators are amazing and our kids get great hands on experience through expeditions and trips to places like Buffalo Cove. Kids are encouraged to support each other, be inclusive, and collaborate. Parents are encouraged to be involved in the school (we're actually required to "volunteer" so many hours per month) and have a strong voice in the overall culture and organization. Parents participate on committees that determine the school calendar, strategic planning, marketing, human resources, policy, finances, etc. I feel very good about the holistic education my kids are getting at TRCS.

The school is an Expeditionary Learning Charter school and is perfect my child. The emphasis on building character, community citizenship, allowing opportunities for movement throughout the day, physical health, and academics really reaches the whole child and creates a welcoming atmosphere within which he has flourished in just one short year.

TRCS can be the right school for some students. They promote diversity and environmentalism & have a strong community spirit. Many teachers are very dedicated & truly love children. Above aver. & EC kids are well served. Low stress environment on academics. In 2011, I pulled my child from TRCS after several years because the "classroom freedom" was too distracting to my child. Students got up & blurt out at random. This is true for all K-5 classes. The EC teachers are great but the student body has high% of students w/ IEP. Those students struggling only a little don't get enough 1-on-1 attention to reach full potential. The K-2 teachers have a 'wait-&-see' approach to slight learning difficulties that lessen stress but also overlook potential LDs. They are willing to accommodate students but TRCS is not a Title I school and cannot provide daily interventions to non-EC kids w/ learning problems. TRCS has seen a great deal of employee turnover with many beginning administrators and faculty. The most recent principal stabilized TRCS and put important policies in place. The challenging physical space has greatly approved.

I feel that it is a school that presents an education that better prepares my children to continue critical thinking skills needed later in life as well as fostering a love of learning.

Two Rivers COMMUNITY School is just that. . . a community of Kindergarten through 8th grade students and staff who love and care for each other. NO doubt about it, I was made for this school and the school was made for me to teach at.

This is a great school. My son is very happy here. It has small class sizes, lots of hands on activities, plenty of outdoor time and flexibility dealing with each individual students needs.

I am a founding parent of Two Rivers Community School. This school is part of my family and I want to give them all the help I can. We started this school with a mindset to be a little different than the usual public school and to involve our community and the world around us as a part of our learning experience. From attending the great and wonderful Bufflo Camp, that all the children look forward to every year from the time they are in the third grade, to the little gardens the kids plant, to the wonderful group os ASU students that come to the school and give our kids a great dose of art and music and even the people that live and work right in the area that have helped us out over the past 5 years. This school truely displays this from the wonderful E.C. teaching group to the standard teaching group, the staff, PTO and parent volunteers are outstanding! We have a great team and they really deserve this. I really do love Two rivers Community School. I am super proud to be a part of something so fantastic! This is what life is all about!

Children are treated with respect, allowed adequate to get outside and play. Expedition learning increases ability to put to use the information taught in all classes. Resources are very limited, but dedication to what is right for our children (parents, teachers and students) makes this work. It would be so wonderful if there were playground and gym equipment available...but as we all know, equipment is very expensive. The role of innovation and utilizing the resources available is a prominent part of daily life at Two Rivers Community School. We just could not have a better principal or staff. I am very grateful.

Great community of kids, staff, parents, and supporters bringing the world into the classroom and education out in the community.

I love this school because there is so much love and respect toward the students from the teachers and toward the teachers from the students. True learning takes place here. To top it off, this school has almost NOTHING; few books and computers, not even playground equipment, but they make it work. They utilize every local resource to teach. These kids understand their role in the community and they are taught just how important that role is.

Fantastic community of people who care not only about quality education, but also the kids as individuals! My son attended this school and is a better person for it!

TRCS is a school composed of folks that made a decision to be a part of the community. I love that everyone involved is invested in the future of the school and the students that are enrolled.

This school is amazing in so many ways. It embraces diversity by allowing students of all ages, sizes, and levels of education to teach one another through their constant mentoring of one another. The school helps the children to learn to be active members of their community and to help others through their service.This outward bound type school is great for kids with varying levels of learning abilities to excel. Two rivers definitely uses every resource it has to make a difference in these children's lives.
