The Riverside School Board (RSB, French: Commission scolaire Riverside) is an English-language school board in the province of Quebec and provides educational services and programs to all students who have a certificate of eligibility for English education in Quebec. They are responsible for anglophone public schools on South Shore (Montreal). Riverside consistently places among the top five and has one of the lowest dropout rates of the 72 public school boards in Quebec, both English and French. It is the birthplace of the French immersion program and offers the International Baccalaureate program in many of their elementary and high Schools.
Their territory spans more than 7,500 square kilometres (2900 sq. mi.) and extends from Sorel in the north, along the St. Lawrence River to Sainte-Catherine in the west, south to the United States border and several kilometres (miles) east of the Richelieu River. Riverside's educational and training facilities serve the residents of over 115 municipalities on the Montérégie.
Lucie Roy is currently the Director General of the school board and the Chair of the Council of Commissioners is Dan Lamoureux.
