Praise for River Montessori
It's so gratifying to see our daughter enjoy what she is learning. River has strengthened our faith in a different learning method of guidance.
Parents of a First Year Student
At RMCS you keep track of all your work and you organize your work in your binder and planner. You don't get special reminders of when things are due. You just finish your work... I love this school.
Fifth Year Student
Thank you, thank you for the most peaceful and happy school year ever. [My child] has just blossomed at River; her joy, her enthusiasm for learning, her excitement about school, real friendships, and a real sense of self-assurance about her.
Parent of a Third Year Student
I love my school!
Second Year Student
As a parent, I am deeply grateful that my child has a school that honors her spirit and singularity as much as her academic work.
Parent of a Fifth Year Student
I remember reading the comments in my son's first report card that made me ask, "How does his teacher know him so well?" The River classroom environment allows the teacher to observe children in diverse settings. This enables the relationship between teacher and student to be far richer than anything I have ever witnessed. It's just brilliant.
Parent of Third Year Student
The teachers are awesome. They push you but not too much.
Fifth Year Student
We're so impressed with how things have evolved at River! Everything looks so great. [My older child} is thrilled to be back in school, and [my younger child] could not feel more comfortable.
Parent of a First Year and a Third Year Student
This is the best school ever!
Fourth Year Student
I was blown away to hear the way my son explained something he had learned during a day at River. As a teacher myself, it was clear that he was sharing with me something he had learned himself through discovery rather than something that was taught to him. It's a very different approach, but one that makes more sense than anything I've ever seen. He continues to be so proud of everything he's discovered.
Parent of a Third Year Student
One thing I like about RMCS is the freedom of choice of work. This does not mean we can do anything we want. We still have to do work in any order or time.
Fourth Year Student
Both teachers [my grandchild] has had at River Montessori go above and beyond their teaching duties and are most excellent guardians of children's enthusiastic spirits! Our Upper Elementary Guide is excellent at teaching academic materials and content, and is also wonderfully compassionate and wise and kind and proactive in helping a child, the grandchild I care for, adjust to changing home circumstances, while providing a most interesting learning environment.
Grandparent of a Fourth Year Student
I like how we can choose when and what we work on during our three hour work time – which is something else I like about RMCS.
Fifth Year Student
I love this school.
Fifth Year Student
[My daughters] really know how much you genuinely enjoy each and every child at River and they get motivation and excitement from that. It is not every child who gets to experience the fabulous educational environment we have at River.
Parent of a Third Year and a Fourth Year Student
... the best school ever!
New Third Year Student
Montessori is very different from public [traditional] - you get to feel [the materials], hold it in your hands and learn it.
