The school celebrates a proud history beginning in 1884. Alumni come from St. Katharine’s School (affectionately know as St. Kit’s), St. Katharine’s – St. Mark’s School, and now Rivermont Collegiate. Throughout its evolution, the school has always encouraged its students to set high goals from themselves in character and academics. As a result, St. Kit’s founding motto"By Pureness, By Knowledge” echoes still in Rivermont’s motto, “Intellect, Character, Creativity”.
