Rooted in the natural environment, strong community partnerships, and cultural responsiveness, Riverview Roots provides a student-centered and inclusive learning environment where all children thrive. Through hands-on exploration of the natural world, robust Spanish language instruction, and teaching practices that honor culture and foster belonging, we are committed to social justice, educational equity, and whole-child development. In partnership with families and community organizations, we prepare students to become engaged, empathetic, and empowered global citizens.
We seek to serve children of all abilities, races, cultures, socioeconomic backgrounds, and gender identities within Lyons and the surrounding communities of Southeastern Wisconsin.

Our vision is to cultivate a generation of learners from our community who are curious, compassionate, and equipped to make a positive impact locally and globally.
Why Riverview Roots?
Why Riverview Roots?
The closure of a local neighborhood elementary school left many families without access to a smaller, community-centered public school option. As class sizes increased and resources shifted across local districts, families expressed a need for a school that prioritizes relationships, personalized learning, and a strong sense of belonging.
Riverview Roots was designed in direct response to that need.
At the same time, our school reflects something more: a commitment to reconnecting children with the natural environment as a meaningful part of their education. Located on the White River and surrounded by natural spaces, Riverview Roots integrates outdoor learning into the school day in ways that deepen engagement, strengthen understanding, and support student well-being.
Our school provides:
A small, relationship-centered environment where every child is known and supported
Meaningful integration of outdoor and environmental learning as part of daily instruction
Strong academic instruction grounded in research-based practices
Early access to Spanish language learning
A welcoming, inclusive school community for all families
Our Community Committment

We are proud to serve a diverse community of learners and are dedicated to ensuring all students—regardless of background, ability, or identity—have access to an inclusive, equitable, and supportive learning environment.
