The school was established in 2012 with 75 students on the then-named Riverpoint Campus (its namesake) near Downtown Spokane[4] with the vision of harnessing the synergies created with the university community, including access to university libraries, some college-level classes taught by university faculty, and mentors from the local business community.[5]
The school occupied space in the then-named Innovate Washington Building, originally the SIRTI Building,[5] and remained there for one year, before outgrowing the space and relocating in the fall of 2013.[6]
On May 7, 2019, the Mead School Board approved $11.3 million in budget cuts resulting in a temporary two-year suspension, and soon thereafter, a permanent shutdown of Riverpoint Academy.[7]
