About Archbishop Riordan High School

Founded in 1949, Archbishop Riordan High School is a dynamic school community serving boys in the Catholic Marianist tradition.

The school prepares young men for leadership through its inclusive college preparatory curriculum and emphasizes formation in faith and dedicates itself to community service and justice. In an atmosphere of diversity and a strong family environment, Archbishop Riordan encourages its students to develop individuality through academics, athletics and the arts.

At school’s core is a rigorous and challenging curriculum which blends a classic liberal education with the skills and knowledge needed to navigate contemporary times. Students are trained to think critically, express themselves clearly, and identify overlapping themes among disciplines. Each course identifies the essential questions of each field, emphasizing an inquiry-based approach to subjects, and is designed to hone the elemental academic skills in each student. Students take a hands-on, active approach to their education so that they can apply what they learn to real-life situations.
