What's happening
Middle School Open House
At our private school in Miami, students in Grades 1–5 build confidence and curiosity through weekly Project Lead The Way classes, exploring coding, engineering design, and environmental topics through hands-on, inquiry-based learning. As they test ideas and create solutions, students strengthen critical thinking, collaboration, and problem-solving skills.
Advanced curriculum
Explore science, technology, engineering, and math through hands-on PLTW modules, coding, design challenges, and Innovation Lab experiences that build curiosity and real-world problem-solving.
Future-ready skills
Strengthen confidence, collaboration, and responsible decision-making through everyday learning that reflects Riviera’s Social Skills for Life (SSL) approach and ISP Life Competencies.
Tailored excellence
Achieve more through personalized instruction, measurable progress, and a 9:1 student-teacher ratio that ensures each student is known, challenged, and supported every day.
STEM discovery spaces
Step into purpose-built STEM spaces at Riviera Day School, including the STEM Lab and Innovation Lab, where students build, test, create, and explore through interactive, technology-rich learning.

Welcoming admissions process
Our admissions journey is thoughtfully designed to provide families with a seamless, attentive, and tailored experience as they become part of the Riviera community.
At our school in Coral Gables, the Elementary STEM program for Grades 1 – 5 gives students a hands-on introduction to science, technology, engineering, and math through inquiry-based learning, experiments, and design challenges that connect STEM to everyday life.
Inquiry-based learning for curious young minds
Riviera’s Elementary STEM program introduces students in Grades 1 – 5 to science, technology, engineering, and mathematics through hands-on, inquiry-based learning.
Designed to spark curiosity and build core skills, the program encourages students to think critically, solve problems creatively, and collaborate effectively. Real-world application helps students see how STEM connects to everyday life while building confidence as learners.
Applied engineering and design in action
Through Project Lead The Way, students explore engineering design, physical science, coding, and environmental systems in engaging, age-appropriate ways.
At our private school in Coral Gables, lessons center on exploration and experimentation, giving students opportunities to test ideas, build prototypes, and use the engineering design process to solve challenges. PLTW helps students strengthen analytical thinking while developing a practical understanding of how innovation happens.
Hands-on discovery through sustainability and innovation
Innovation Lab gives students opportunities to learn by doing through interactive projects that connect STEM concepts to the world around them.
A signature experience is the Garden Tower project, where students explore sustainability, plant science, and environmental stewardship by planting, observing growth cycles, and studying ecosystems. These experiences foster responsibility, collaboration, and a deeper understanding of science in real-world contexts.
Students build curiosity, design thinking, and environmental awareness through hands-on STEM learning, prototype challenges, and real-world exploration.
Students learn by asking questions, exploring ideas, and testing possibilities through interactive, age-appropriate STEM experiences that build curiosity and critical thinking.
Through PLTW modules and Innovation Lab challenges, students build prototypes, solve problems, and apply the engineering design process in practical ways.
Interactive lessons and shared projects help students work together, communicate clearly, and develop teamwork through guided STEM experiences.
The Garden Tower project introduces plant science, sustainability, and environmental stewardship through hands-on observation and care.
At our private school in Miami, elementary students discover how STEM can be creative, exciting, and hands-on. Through design-based learning, students explore big ideas, solve real-world problems, and grow confidence.

Language offering
Within Riviera Day School’s Project Lead The Way (PLTW) program, student growth is guided through project-based assessments, classroom observations, collaborative activities, and hands-on STEM challenges. Teachers look beyond content mastery to evaluate how students apply concepts, solve problems, think critically, and work with others. As they move through each grade level, students continue to build foundational STEM skills while gaining confidence and independence in the engineering design process. Riviera also values a strong partnership between home and school. Families receive regular updates through teacher communication, newsletters, classroom highlights, progress reports, and parent-teacher conferences. By sharing STEM projects and PLTW activities with families, Riviera offers a meaningful window into the learning happening in the classroom while celebrating student growth, creativity, and achievement throughout the year.
Through PLTW, students develop far more than STEM knowledge. From the early years, they build critical thinking, problem-solving, collaboration, communication, creativity, and perseverance. As they take part in design challenges and project-based learning, they learn to ask thoughtful questions, test ideas, learn from setbacks, and contribute as part of a team. These experiences help students grow in confidence, resilience, and independence while laying a strong foundation for future academic success and lifelong learning.
At Riviera, Spanish is woven into the learning journey from the earliest years, giving students regular, age-appropriate opportunities to build language skills within everyday classroom experiences alongside their core studies.This early introduction supports communication, listening, cultural awareness, and growing confidence in self-expression. As part of Riviera’s broad academic program and specialist teaching, Spanish adds depth to daily learning while helping students become curious, capable, and globally aware learners.
Project Lead The Way makes STEM learning dynamic, practical, and engaging through hands-on exploration, engineering design challenges, and inquiry-based projects that encourage students to learn by doing. As they investigate real-world problems, students design and test solutions, build prototypes, and apply science, technology, engineering, and mathematics in meaningful ways.At our STEM private school, experiences such as Innovation Lab activities, coding projects, collaborative design challenges, and sustainability-focused initiatives like the Garden Tower project help connect classroom learning to the world around them. Through these experiences, students develop curiosity, creativity, and a deeper understanding of the role STEM plays in everyday life.
Riviera Schools offers rolling enrollment throughout the academic year, providing families the flexibility to join when the timing is right. Our admissions team is available to discuss individual needs and help determine the most suitable start date for each child.
