Look how far our reach goes!
Every blue pin on this map represents a family who chose Riverwalk Academy — often driving past a lot of other schools to be part of something greater.
From Clover to Lancaster, from Fort Mill to Chester, and everywhere in between, this map shows that Riverwalk Academy isn’t just a school — it's a destination.
What does this map tell us?
- Our reach spans across dozens of towns and communities.
- Families are choosing purpose over convenience.
- Riverwalk Academy is a place worth the drive.

Thank you to our families for showing what it means to be #PurposeDriven.
How far do YOU drive to get to Riverwalk — and why is it worth it to you?
Drop your distance or your story in the comments!

Please join us in welcoming Mirela White to the Riverwalk Academy family! Originally from Romania, Mirela came to the United States over 20 years ago through a teacher exchange program. She began her teaching journey in Orangeburg, SC, and later spent 18 years in Savannah, GA, where she taught both resource special education and Reading Recovery.

After relocating to the Fort Mill area last year for her husband's job, Mirela and her family—along with their two daughters, now in 1st and 4th grade—have settled into the community. This year, she brings her passion and experience to Riverwalk as our new 4th/5th Grade Special Education Resource teacher.

We are thrilled to have her on board and look forward to a fantastic school year ahead!
