Richmond Montessori School

Richmond Montessori School is proud to partner with the Virginia Center for Montessori Studies in launching its new Elementary I & II Teacher Education Program!

We are especially excited that several RMS educators such as Kalyn Gerrity, Stacy O’Shea, Shannon Ciucci, and Marshie Boswell are helping lead this important initiative as instructors.

Through their expertise and experience, they will guide educators in key Montessori areas, including Philosophy, Mathematics, Curriculum Design, Classroom Leadership, Cultural Studies, and more.

While our classrooms may be quiet for the summer, our hearts are still full of the memories, growth, and moments that made this school year so special.

Today we took time to celebrate all of the incredible staculty who make RMS feel like home. Their dedication, and commitment to our students and community are at the heart of everything we do.

Some of our third-year lower elementary students proudly shared research projects today on topics of their choice with families and younger peers, showcasing the incredible growth happening in the heart of their Montessori journey.

Through deep exploration, they practiced research, technology, and presentation skills while building confidence and independence. The celebration continued with the rest of their class sharing beloved and original poetry, followed by a community picnic with families. It was a beautiful day, highlighting both the rigor of our curriculum and the strong, connected community that supports the growth of the whole child.
The other lower elementary classes will enjoy this right of passage on Thursday.

RMS Celebrates Earth Day 🌎🌱

From getting our hands dirty planting with LERN, to hatching adorable chicks, to learning all about composting, our students experienced what it means to care for the world around them.

At RMS, we’re always looking for ways to give back to the planet. Whether it’s through hands-on learning, building sustainable habits, or simply taking time to appreciate nature’s beauty.

Together, we’re nurturing a lifelong respect for the world we share💙

The sense of community was truly tangible this morning as our 6th year experts shared highlights from their year-long research - cheered on and supported by their lower elementary and middle school peers.

It was a beautiful glimpse of inspiration, collaboration, and academic rigor across our community.

Join us tonight at 6pm in the PAC for the big event—we can’t wait to celebrate together!

Thank you to our incredible sponsors for your generous support! We are so grateful for all you do for our community 💙
