Riverdale Baptist School is a Christian school located in Upper Marlboro, Maryland. It serves students ranging in grade levels from Pre-K through 12th grade. It is located in Prince George's County, Maryland, and accredited both through Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools and the Association of Christian Schools International.
The school was established in 1971. Riverdale Baptist Church had expanded greatly under pastor Richard Herbert Fitzpatrick (1926-2012), a noted Baptist preacher and televangelist born in Roanoke, Virginia and who became known nationally for the "Riverdale Baptist Hour". Fitzpatrick had previously founded a large church in Connersville, Indiana and served at Riverdale Baptist Church from 1964-1998.
Enrollment for the past several years has been over 900 students in three-year-old prekindergarten through the twelfth grade. Riverdale’s campus includes a gymnasium with weight room, athletic fields and enclosed elementary play areas.
The Preschool and Kindergarten programs emphasize readiness and take a hands-on approach to academic subjects with the curriculum presented from a Christian perspective. Each school level has a dedicated computer lab with grade-appropriate software.
The elementary program at Riverdale Baptist School emphasizes spiritual precepts, character building, and the skills and concepts necessary to academic advancement. These self-contained classrooms follow a carefully selected curriculum of learning in Bible, language skills, spelling, reading, math, handwriting, science and heritage studies.
