WHAT WE AIM FOR

“A child’s work,” wrote Maria Montessori, “is to create the man he will become. An adult works to perfect his environment, but a child works to perfect himself.” So Dr. Montessori developed an education that would aid the child in his work.

We at RMS work diligently to achieve the goal of comprehensive development of the child.

CREATING OUR FUTURE CITIZENS

From an early age, Montessori students develop the self-discipline to work alone, with peers, or with the entire class. While one student reads about Renaissance painters, another works at a computer, and another dissects a flower with a friend. Aided by the rich curriculum and hands-on learning materials, the child develops excellent skills in reading, writing and mathematics.

As part of a mixed-age class the Montessori student enjoys relationships with younger and older children. A Mixed-age classes promote collaborative learning and encourage the development of strong community.

The Montessori Method has been successful around the world for more than 100 years.

Our mission is to make the best of our future citizens.
