About
We are a supplemental education program located on fourteen acres in the far west suburbs of Chicago. During the school year, we primarily serve boys through our flagship program, Tutorial, and our newer offering, Chiron. Both are based in storytelling, adventure, craftsmanship, and prayer. Through a fellowship of creative endeavor, the boys gain insight into the vital connection between creative gift, friendship, meaningful work, and life…or as we call it…the adventurous pilgrimage to Heaven.
Our theatre program, some of our summer camps, and after-school sessions are open to both boys and girls. Beyond serving youth, however, Riverside is a center for family culture with theatrical performances, festivals, and concerts.
Meet the Team
We are a small, but adventurous group of imagineers, dedicated to creating a culture at Riverside focused on seeking out what is good, true, and beautiful.
Founder Peter Searby and his band of merry Tutors are devoted to Riverside's mission and see this reImagined version of education as their calling.
Vision
Riverside is transforming its property in Big Rock, IL, into an epic landscape of adventure and imagination. We believe this landscape will inspire and guide the young to discover their creative gifts, delve into great stories, and grow through their relationship with Jesus and others via what we call Fellowships of Creative Endeavor.
