Riffenburgh Elementary is an International Baccalaureate (IB) Primary Years School, providing concept-based, trans-disciplinary units and an inquiry-based approach to learning.

Rigorous standards in math and literacy, using PSD’s standards based curriculum, are emphasized and assessed. Gifted and talented, reading services, as well as special education resources, speech/language, and O/T programs are also offered to address the individual needs of each student.
