Rev. Mother Carina Maris & Sr. Regina Launch New Riverview School Focused on Inclusive Education and Small Classes

A new educational institution in Riverview, founded by Rev. Mother Carina Maris and Sr. Regina, aims to provide private school education to all children, regardless of economic status or academic challenges. The school offers small class sizes and a rigorous, technology-driven curriculum.

Rev. Mother Carina Maris and Sr. Regina, educators for decades, established the school to address obstacles many students face, particularly financial barriers preventing families from affording traditional private school costs. They focus on nurturing students to reach their full potential.

The school distinguishes itself through an educational philosophy centered on the 'whole child' – intellectually, spiritually, and physically. Class sizes are limited to 15 students or less per grade, allowing for individualized attention to academic and emotional needs. Instead of reactive bullying policies, the curriculum incorporates character education, emphasizing peer mediation and conflict resolution to equip students with social skills.

Standard school hours run from 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. An Extended Day option is available on campus from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Families interested in enrollment can initiate the process by contacting the Academy directly at 813-374-5119.
