Positive Discipline

Positive Discipline is based on the philosophy and teachings of Alfred Adler and Rudolf Driekurs. Riverday School believes and implements Positive Discipline on a daily basis.

We believe that the common core standards for academics are not enough to prepare children for good citizenship. We believe the basics are courage, confidence, and life skills, because with these children have fertile ground on which to plant the seeds of academics and to live successfully in the world.

All the academic knowledge in the world will not help those who lack the self discipline, judgment, social interest, ability to make good choices, and sense of responsibility that enable them to act effectively in life. Unfortunately, our educational system today does not provide young people with these skills. * Jane Nelsen, Lynn Lott, H. Stephen Glenn
