She quickly found that this magnet elementary school well-exceeded her expectations.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;I was very impressed with the Riverside Magnet School because the young children there are at an age where they&rsquo;re exploring expressions and emotions,&rdquo; she said. &ldquo;It&rsquo;s great to be a part of a school that supports that.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Her daughter flourishes in this type of creative, expressive environment. &ldquo;My\u00a0daughter\u00a0is very observant and inquisitive,&rdquo; she noted. &ldquo;She&rsquo;s gravitates toward art and the school offers opportunities for expression in performing and visual arts.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>She and her family believe that diversity is a very important aspect of education. &ldquo;A lot of schools don&rsquo;t have diversity amongst the students and the teachers to the degree that the Riverside Magnet School does.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Logistically, the Riverside Magnet School makes sense for her family. She and her husband work full-time jobs and were able to enroll\u00a0her daughter\u00a0in the afterschool magnet program. &ldquo;Afterschool care is an extension of the school day. It&rsquo;s more like an enrichment program because they&rsquo;re still learning.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Because the Riverside Magnet School is a part of Goodwin College, she feels that she belongs to a larger community, full of energy and momentum. &ldquo;We&rsquo;ve attended family movie nights and other events the College has put on,&rdquo; she noted. &ldquo;I have an appreciation for all that Goodwin is doing. You don&rsquo;t see other colleges doing anything as multifaceted.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Not only do the students enrolled in the Riverside Magnet School benefit from being a part of a college community, but the College benefits from having this progressive magnet school right on campus. Goodwin students majoring in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodwin.edu\/majors\/early-childhood-education\/\">Early Childhood Education<\/a> are able to use the magnet school as a learning platform.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Education is always evolving, so it&rsquo;s great that our children have access to these dynamic teaching styles,&rdquo;\u00a0she noted.<\/p>\n<p>She\u00a0appreciates that the faculty and staff at the Riverside Magnet School genuinely make an effort to learn everyone&rsquo;s name and background. &ldquo;You can tell that the faculty and staff have a vested interest in everyone.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>To apply,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodwin.edu\/magnet-schools\/how-to-apply\"><strong>click here<\/strong><\/a>.\u00a0 <strong>To visit the Riverside Magnet School website,<\/strong> <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/riversidemagnetschool.org\/\">click here<\/span><\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>To learn more about upcoming information sessions, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodwin.edu\/magnet-schools\/riverside-magnet-school\/\"><strong>click here<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Riverside Magnet School mother was initially attracted to the Riverside Magnet School at Goodwin College primarily because of its Reggio Emilia philosophy.
