School Reviews

5  
My son is in his third year at RMS. I cannot say enough good things about the school, the teachers, the administration, the methods- Everything. The rate at which he is learning far trumps what I was able to do in a public school setting. There is definitely something to be said about, "the Montessori way". Being a smaller school, and having children in three levels in one classroom, creates an environment of family. This environment extends to the parents as well. You won't see any bullying, only kindness, empathy and a cooperative spirit.
