History
Riverfield Country Day School was founded in 1984 by a group of parents and teachers working with educator Marty Clark and her husband, Tom Clark. She had previously founded Trinity Episcopal Day School and served as a director at Kirk in the Hills Preschool.[3] Tom later joined as assistant head of school at Riverfield. He had previously served as the director of admissions at Holland Hall School. Both had held positions at public and private schools in Colorado, Illinois, and Delaware.[4]
Riverfield opened in August 1984 with 40 children from infancy through second grade.[5] After its first year, the school moved to a larger nearby site, and in April 1989 it opened a $1.4 million, 33-acre facility that added grades 3–5.[6] Funding included tuition revenue and the annual 'Riverfield Revel' fundraiser..[7]
In November 2004, Dr. Jane Goodall visited the school to dedicate the science lab.[8]
