Thank you to all the RMS students, siblings, and former RMS students for the beautiful artwork created for the patients at Danbury Hospital! They were just beautiful and will brighten the rooms for the patients and nurses caring for them. Thank you Amelia’s daddy (Jose Gontijo) for delivering them and for all you are doing caring for so many!

It's so important to know that we are a true Montessori school, and we don't just use 'Montessori' as a marketing gimmick. There is a very big difference between practicing the Montessori method authentically and not.

“Montessori-inspired” may mean a lot—or it may mean nothing.

An interesting article about the growth in popularity of Montessori schools in the US. We're early trendsetters since we're celebrating our 20th Anniversary this year!

Dr. Montessori originally developed her pedagogical approach for low-income children in Rome. Unfortunately, in the U.S., the Montessori model was largely relegated to private schools. However, the spread of public school choice has led to a rapid growth in the number of public Montessori schools.

Interesting study about the benefits of Montessori education looking at specific aspects that improve academic performance: "...another difference between the two systems of schooling is that the children in Montessori classes come from different age groups. This mixing of different ages promotes self-learning."
