🎉 Happy National PTO Day! 🎉
Today, we’re celebrating the incredible parents, guardians, and community members who make up Riverwalk Academy’s PTO — the heart behind so many of the events, fundraisers, and special moments that help our school shine! 💙
Your dedication, creativity (Penny Wars anyone?), and countless volunteer hours do so much more than support logistics — you help create a school environment that feels like family. From organizing events to boosting staff morale, supporting classrooms (Duty Free lunch), and building community spirit, our PTO truly goes above and beyond. We are so, so, SO thankful for you.
THANK YOU for being such a vital part of the Riverwalk family. We’re grateful for everything you do — today and every day! 🦁💛💙

We’re excited to welcome Brandon Guffey to Riverwalk Academy on September 26th! Brandon will be speaking to our 8th–12th graders about cyberbullying and mental health.
Brandon is a South Carolina State Rep and founder of Less Than 3, a nonprofit focused on teen mental health awareness. After the tragic loss of his son Gavin to online exploitation, he’s been a powerful advocate for online safety and youth support.
His message is clear: “Tomorrow needs you.” We’re honored to have him share his story and inspire our students.

Happy National IT Professionals Day!
Today, we’re sending a HUGE shout-out to the incredible Ms. Taylor — the powerhouse behind all things tech at Riverwalk Academy.
From keeping our systems running smoothly to jumping in the moment there's a tech hiccup, she does it all with speed, care, and professionalism.
But it doesn’t stop there — Ms. Taylor is also an amazing friend, a dedicated teacher, and a true example of what it means to be part of the Riverwalk Family.
Thank you, thank you, thank you, Ms. Taylor — we appreciate you more than words can say.

At Riverwalk Academy, learning goes beyond the textbook — it's experienced. Through our dynamic Project-Based Learning (PBL) approach, students from kindergarten to high school actively engage in meaningful, real-world projects that spark curiosity, encourage collaboration, and deepen understanding.
You may have heard the term Project-Based Learning (or "PBL") and know it's part of our charter, but what does it really mean? Simply put, PBL is a teaching method where students learn by actively exploring real-world challenges and problems — and then creating something meaningful in response. It’s not just about memorizing facts; it’s about applying knowledge in creative, practical ways that make learning stick.
The result? Confident, capable students who aren't just preparing for the future — they're creating it.
