About River HomeLink

Families can choose from part or full-time programs that provide home school, classroom and independent study opportunities. All students are assigned a certificated teacher with whom they and their parents meet regularly. Parents play an active role in their child’s education; both on campus and at home. River HomeLink was designated a 2018 Washington School of Distinction, marking the third year the school has received this designation.
History
River HomeLink school began in 1996 in Camas, WA as a way to serve east county families seeking a different kind of educational experience. In 2011, Battle Ground Public Schools moved the alternative school back home.
Teacher Alesa Corrin – Her love of doodling earned her an assignment from River HomeLink Principal Matt Kesler – to paint a mural on the west wall of the school’s common area.
What Students Are Saying
I have made nice friends and my teacher is the greatest teacher in the whole wide world.” ~ 2nd grade student, RHL I’ve made lots of new friends. I’ve learned how to do lots of art techniques and in Lego physics I’ve learned how windmills and clocks work. ” ~ 4th grade student, RHL Because of all the options I know I can be whatever I want later in life.” ~ 7th grade student, RHL
The teachers at RHL have been very encouraging! They are constantly pushing me to do my best throughout everything.” ~ 8th grade student, RHL It has given me, a person who was purely home schooled for about six years, an opportunity to understand what it’s like in a real school, and make plenty of wonderful friends, and try cafeteria food (which I love), it gives me the chance to learn in a…more normal schooling atmosphere, not saying that home schooling isn’t normal, but, I love RHL much better and hope to attend there for later years to come.” ~ 9th grade student, RHL
River Homelink is a very good school. The atmosphere is much more suitable for me than a normal public high school. Here, I have learned to stretch myself out of my own little bubble of comfort. I find myself reaching out to others, putting myself out there, and making new friends. It’s a place to grow not only my artistic and literary talents, but also my people skills. I have enjoyed my seven years here and this school will always have a special place in my heart when I leave port and set sail toward intrepid adventures in the Grand Outside World!” ~ 12th grade student, RHL
