Riverdale Country School

A typical day at work is doing all the administrative duties for the principal of the upper school (9-12). I learned how to teach a mini course in Public Health and how to deal with the parent population along with participating in a Spanish Exchange trip to Spain. The workplace culture allows for you to learn and maintain professional stimulation by visiting others teach their classes, attend groups for teachers and students alike etc.The hardest part of the job is planning the high school graduation.

I work indepently, my day begins checking emails and then processing the daily bus changes. Processing everything for the dismissal for that day.Confirming that students dismissals are correct.
Prepare any transcript request that come in for the day.
Ordering and confirming orders of buses. 

The most stressful part of my job is between 3:00 - 3:15 pm. The build up to make sure all of the students arrive to the correct location at the expected time.
The best part of my job is being around the students.Building those relationships with the parents.

Riverdale Country School offers many opportunities.

Very active establishment  packed with various duties.
I learned how to prep various foods  for cooking .storing of different fresh foods, preparing lunch areas for the daily lunch hot and cold foods.
Management  ,great  with communication.
 Co-workers was good team players.
The hardest part of this job was going to and from the cold freezers
to hot areas.

The most enjoyable part of this job was  approaching new challenges daily.

Riverdale Country School was the first school where I put my knowledge of my athletic abilities and shared it with middle/high school students. I really enjoyed coaching because I was able to relate with the students through the various sports. Through coaching I learned how to adapt practices to fit the need for all students with different athletic abilities. I also learned that in order to be a coach, you need to be very organized and have great communication skills! 

All in all, Riverdale is a really good place to work at. The one thing that concerned me was the lack of work (therefore money) during the summer months. I did have a second job which made the summer easier. It takes a special person to work and be effective at Riverdale; it requires patience, ability to deal with different personalities and  flexibility as far as placement.

Riverdale Country School is one of the best schools in NYC; It is a great place of employment, People there are friendly. They offer great Benefits. most of the managers are very laid back.  It was one of the best places that I have worked. Riverdale Country School is a very productive and fun workplace. Our CFO is a great person to work with, very laid back but is very involve in the functionality of the office.

Work at Riverdale private school was a new experience for me working with a high school varsity soccer team, its was challenging and exciting,  I have to prepared all practice sessions, organized the equipments (balls, cones, pinnies and first aid kit). I always look forward to go to work on a day to day basis.

It use to be a fun, friendly and family type environment. After the new administration came, the culture changed. I still like going to work but it doesn't feel like a family anymore. However, I have to say that the Administration staff are approachable and seem to value staff's concerns.

Will gain a tremendous amount of experience working with students in a classroom setting. Company is flexible and cares about their staff. The only issue is the low pay . But the experience is invaluable. 

Job was extremely busy. Many events to work at which meant lots of overtime. Unfortunately change of Development Director. Once hired she replaced our 3 office people with 12. We had to interview for our own jobs which we knew we wouldn't get.
