The Art of Learning Our curriculum and program offerings are designed to ensure a balanced and healthy approach to education. We offer academic, artistic, and physical education to our students to ensure they develop a love for learning and growing in multiple facets of life. The educational focus of the charter school is to set a new standard in North Carolina for kindergarten through grade 12 by motivating all students to achieve their full potential.  
Teamwork The success of River Mill Academy is largely dependent on effective teamwork... teamwork between teachers, parents, and students.  We encourage collaboration between teachers and parents to create the most effective learning experience for our students. To that end, we also encourage our parents to get involved in our school programs and activities.
School Tours River Mill Academy hosts School Tours during the school day for interested parents and students. The walking tours are designed to provide an opportunity for prospective families to learn more about our school and to meet River Mill Academy teachers and students, as well as, the school administration. Tours are held on the first Wednesday of the month at 8:30 am from October through March.
School of Distinction Once a year River Mill Academy provides updates on our school's achievements through the North Carolina School Report Card. For the 2010-2011 school year, River Mill Academy has earned recognition as a school of Distinction. This Report Card includes important information about school and student performance, class sizes, attendance, school safety, instructional resources, and teacher quality. There also is information about how our school measured against federal Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) targets and the number of suspensions and expulsions in our school. Our school’s full Report Card can be found on the NC School Report Cards’ website at www.ncreportcards.org.    

The National Elementary Honor Society is sponsoring a canned food drive through Thursday, February 9. All proceeds will go to support a local food pantry. Any nonperishable items will be greatly appreciated. Some examples are: juice, spaghetti sauce, noodles, cookies, crackers, soup, canned fruits and vegetables, dried beans, rice, instant potatoes, baby food, canned meats, cereal, macaroni, peanut butter, jelly, and pancake syrup. Students may bring items to their homeroom teacher. The top class in elementary, middle and high school will win a McDonald's or pizza party. Thank you for your help in making our food drive a success!
