to explore world of activities with unique teaching
Why choose a Montessori
School for your
child?
Research has shown
that the best predictor
of future success is
confidence along with
a positive sense of self.
Beginning your child’s
education at a Montessori
school during their most
formative, impressionable
years can set them
firmly on that path.
Fundamental to the
Montessori approach is
that children become independent
by developing
their sense of order, coordination,
and concentration.
In doing so, they
also develop positive
character qualities, selfdiscipline,
the ability to
think independently, and
a life-long love of learning.
Why choose Ronald
Knox Montessori School?
In dedicating ourselves
wholly to Maria Montessori’s
philosophy, Ronald
Knox Montessori
School (RKMS) adheres
to the highest standards
of Montessori education.
RKMS is fully accredited,
meeting or exceeding
standards set forth by
the American Montessori
Society (AMS). We have
55 years of educating
and instilling the love of
learning in children ages
6 months – 6 years and
many of our “graduates”
are now sending their
own children to Ronald
Knox!
The child, making use
of all that he finds around
him, shapes himself for
the future.
— Maria Montessori
RKMS offers children
a warm, welcoming environment,
where they are
encouraged to explore
a world of activities in
mixed age classrooms
under the watchful eyes
of nurturing, competent,
and qualified Montessoritrained
and certified directresses
(teachers). The
beautiful classroom environments
are designed,
built, and maintained for
the children, following
the Montessori philosophy.
Children are introduced
to la
nguage, math, science,
history, geography, art,
and music in a natural,
intuitive, hands-on manner.
They develop life
skills such as creative
problem solving, grace
and courtesy, respect for
themselves, others, and
the world around them.
The directresses are
dedicated to supporting
and guiding the children
in the beginning of their
path of a life-long love
of learning, leading to
fulfilling their highest potential.
RKMS children
are more than prepared to
enter elementary schools
upon “graduating.”
Our strong and involved
community of
parents, faculty and administrators
ensures that
RKMS continues its mission
successfully and
maintains its level of excellence.
Ronald Knox Montessori
School offers a Full
Day Kindergarten program,
a Full Day Primary
program (3-4 year olds),
a Lunch program, an
Early Bird and Extended
Care program,
Enrichment programs,
and three different Summer
Camps.
