Rivermont Collegiate

Rivermont Collegiate (formerly known as St. Katharine's St. Mark's Independent College Preparatory School) is a nonsectarian, independent, multicultural, college preparatory school for students - two year-old through twelfth grade. It is the only nonsectarian, independent school in Iowa, located in the heart of the Quad Cities in Bettendorf, Iowa (three hours west of the Chicago area, where Interstate 74 crosses the Mississippi River). Rivermont Collegiate has a 100% college acceptance for all graduating seniors. It caters to above average students who desire to be in a strong academic environment.

Rivermont Collegiate is a member of the National Association of Independent Schools (NAIS), the Independent Schools Association of the Central States (ISACS), the College Entrance Examination Board (CEEB), Council for Advance and Support of Education (CASE), and the National Honor Society (NHS). It is currently the number 1 college prep school in Iowa.

In 1846, a group of transplanted New England Congregationalists with a strong social-reformer orientation formed the Trustees of Iowa College. Although founded in Davenport, Iowa, Iowa College moved from its Davenport location to the town of Grinnell after being invited by Josiah Bushnell Grinnell to move to his newly founded town, located at the intersection of two major railroads. The Davenport location was later renamed to Griswold College, after Bishop Alexander Viets Griswold of the Eastern Diocese of the Episcopal Church. Griswold College began growing slowly, adding a theological department, and Kemper Hall (which served as a boys' school).
