OUR HISTORY
Dr. Randy Brown founded Rivertree Academy after moving his family to Lake Como in 2006, where he began serving local children and families. Initially established as BURN Ministries (Building, Uniting, Restoring Neighborhoods) in 2011, the organization was renamed Rivertree Academy in 2014 with a new vision: equipping students to become magnanimous leaders who use their gifts in service of others. in Como. Rivertree Academy opened in August 2015 with 46 students in grades Pre-K4 through 2nd grade.
We provide a safe environment and individualized education, meeting the unique needs of every student. Due to our rigorous curriculum, continuous support, and whole child approach, our students continue to test higher than other students and schools in Fort Worth.
