The RD Advantage v2

Our Philosophy

Our Advantages

Deep learning happens through productive struggle. This isn't about making things harder for the sake of difficulty—it's about creating the conditions where your child's brain forms lasting connections and genuine understanding.

At RDAS, we provide meaningful intellectual challenges within a supportive environment. Our advantages work together to create this balance: rigorous academics informed by brain science, flexible spaces that support different ways of thinking, and personalized pathways that meet each child exactly where they are.

The Riverdale Partnership

A Legacy of Excellence

Founded in 1907, Riverdale Country School in New York City has spent over a century refining its approach to education and whole-child development. Their graduates don't just attend top universities; they become scientists, entrepreneurs, artists, and leaders who shape their fields.
‍
Riverdale chose to partner with RD American School because we share their commitment to innovation. Together, we're building something that honors educational excellence while pioneering new approaches for this generation.

The Science of Learning

A Transformational Learning Experience

Your child's brain is remarkable, and as you probably know, children have an incredible capacity for creativity, curiosity, and adaptability. But not all learning experiences tap into this potential equally.
‍
At RDAS, our approach to teaching is grounded in research on how memory works, how understanding develops, and how knowledge transfers to new situations.

As a school committed to the highest standards of safety and integrity, we uphold rigorous recruitment policies and procedures to ensure that every employee and volunteer demonstrates strong moral character and is fully qualified to work with children.
