Our school had a fire, and we are already back in session.

On March 15th, a fire destroyed our classrooms at The River Church. Within two weeks, we resumed classes at our new home: The Heart Church, 927 E Polston Ave, Post Falls. River Tech is fully back and accepting students.

COMPETENCY-BASED 1st-12th Grade

At River Tech, students progress at their own pace based on mastery, not seat time. If a student excels in math, they move ahead, and if they need more time in reading, they get it. No student is held back by an arbitrary grade-level ceiling, and no student is left behind when a subject needs more attention.
