Events

RIS Events are very popular with our students, families, friends, and members of the community. Events occur year round at set and varied times depending on the occasion. Holiday events emphasize cultural awareness instead of religion. Theme events follow our main themes of fantasy, space, oceans, and adventure. Special events are varied throughout the year dealing with culture, personal interests, various types of parties. Events are a great way to experience, culture, use language skills, meet new people, and have a great time.

Holiday

Holiday events follow traditional American and European holidays like Valentines, Easter, Halloween and Christmas etc. Additionally, we celebrate Japanese festivals such as Hanami and Tanabata. From time to time we celebrate of holidays from around the world as part of our cultural awareness. We have a wonderful “Galentines” party for our lovely young ladies. Halloween is our biggest event of the year with a bazaar, a haunted house, and all sorts of costumes and treats. Christmas is also a large production with all the trimmings. Ever wanted to know how Santa Claus can visit all the children of the world in a single night and never be seen? Come and meet him and maybe, if you have been a good boy or girl, he will tell you his secret. Come and celebrate with us.

THEME

Theme events are a big part of school life at RIS. Fantasy Quests takes place in the winter and spring, Space Adventures is in the spring, Ocean Explorations in the summer, and Archaeology Adventures in the fall. The events are children focused for the most part with lots of adult participation and adult after party parties in the evenings.
