Ever since the Johnson Ferry Baptist Church broke ground in June 1983, this church has been one of the most popular and respected religious institutions in the Southeast. With a strong emphasis on missions, it has become an important influence in Cobb County and North Georgia. Through his ministry both at the church and in the media, Pastor Bryant Wright is one of the best-known and loved ministers in the area. No matter what your denomination, this is a church worth visiting just to experience the friendly staff and vast activities within its walls.
Awarded West Cobb Patch Readers' Choice for favorite preschool in 2012, Riverstone provides an Association of Montessori Internationale-accredited education for preschool, elementary and middle school students. As an inclusive academic environment providing individualized curriculum for remedial and advanced students, Riverstone adheres to the philosophy that academic success results from an educational environment that is designed specifically to meet the developmental needs and interests of a diverse group of students and avoids artificial barriers resulting from a one-size-fits-all classroom approach. Academic fields are combined in Montessori to provide a more efficient and engaging educational experience. Fine arts and music can be a part of history, language and mathematics.
The course of study, teacher training and classroom design at Riverstone follow more than 50 years of research and are consistent with AMI Montessori schools found around the world. AMI-trained teachers, even in preschool, receive master's-level training.
