Rivermont has been educating students in the Quad Cities since 1884 and we are eager to welcome Mr. Zachary. This is an exciting step for the future of our school, which holds such a rich history. Mr. Zachary's role as Headmaster at Rivermont will begin in July 2013.
Rivermont, located in Bettendorf, is the Quad Cities' only private, independent college prep school for preschool through 12th grade, with students from throughout the Quad City area. The school was originally organized as St. Katharine's School, an Episcopal school for girls located in Davenport. In 1968, St. Katharine's dropped its boarding program, became co-educational, and added St. Mark's to its name. In 1973, St. Katharine's - St. Mark's moved to its present location and the name was changed to Rivermont Collegiate in 2001. At Rivermont, students are encouraged to develop their potential and take risks in academics, leadership, athletics, arts, and service. With a challenging academic experience in a family-like environment, Rivermont students build a solid foundation, nourish personal talents and passions, and develop a lifelong love of learning.
