Every March, RISD celebrates the impact of the arts and the fine arts teachers across all campuses and throughout the community.

#RISDBeTheOne

Every Child. Every Teacher. Every Leader. Every Day.

Our success is attributable to the leadership of our elected Board of Trustees, the thousands of professional educators who work diligently to give every child the best education possible, and the support of our parents and community who value and set high standards for the children in RISD.
Every student, teacher, and leader will meet or exceed their academic growth goals.
