The Importance of a Literary Education

The November issue of First Things has a must read article about the intellectual peril our society finds itself in. If you needed evidence of the value of an education like RiverTree's, full of ideas and filled with literature, please check it out. Also consider the book the author draws from: The dumbest generation: How the digital age stupefies young americans and jeopardizes our future. I have not read it yet, so this is not a recommendation. However, my copy is in the mail and I will be sure to let you know.

The Website is Now Live!

We have just gone live with the RiverTree School website. Tell your friends, neighbors, friend's neighbors, and neighbor's friends.

New Address for this Blog

If you have successfully made your way to this blog despite my messing around with domain name records and the like, you already know that the address has changed.

From the beginning, one of the purposes of this blog was to be a place-holder for the RiverTree School website. Well, it is almost here. Accordingly, I have moved the blog to its new, permanent home at http://blog.rivertreeschool.org. Because Blogger is our host, you can also find it via http://rivertreeschool.blogspot.com.

The former URLs (www.rivertreeschool.org and rivertreeschool.org) will soon be the home of the main site. I will, of course, announce the website launch here as well.

Informational Meeting this Saturday

There will be an informational meeting this Saturday at 2:00 in Maple Grove for interested families. If you would like to join us, send me an email at info@rivertreeschool.org and I will send you the details.
