The advantages of the K-8 model provide an incomparable foundation for learners and the entirety of our programming is built around a single question -- "What is best for the child?" Children flourish at James River because they are supported as students and as persons. They are given the tools for lifelong learning and the tools of good character to function well in society, leaving it better than they found it.

One of the most popular programs at James River Day School is back again this summer—better than ever! The one-room schoolhouse, which once offered students a unique and specialized education, has disappeared from our fast-paced culture. James River has successfully brought back the concept of the one-room schoolhouse to ease the transition into the next school year. We offer specialized instruction in math, grammar, and Spanish or French. This program furnishes students with a jump-start by providing them with individualized lessons and differentiated instruction in the school’s core curriculum areas, plus organizational assistance for students who need a little help getting it all together. Students will transition smoothly into a new school year at James River Day School by getting set up and ready to go ahead of time!
