Rochester Montessori School is a nondenominational, not for profit organization
serving children from 18 months to 12 years old. Our diverse community is
open to children of all cultures and backgrounds, we frequently serve children
from the international community. We are alive with the spirit of acceptance
and inclusion. We currently have approximately 160 students from 120 families
and 28 staff members to serve them.
History
Rochester Montessori School began in 1968 with a small group of parents
desiring a Montessori education for their children. Starting with twelve children
in a private home, the RMS community has grown and prospered to its current
size. Over the course of our history, we have leased facilities at various
locations in Rochester, including the Congregational Church, the Rochester
Town Hall, Assisi Heights, Bethel Lutheran Church, and the Christ United
Methodist Church. Now, we have our own facility that we can call our home.
Many parents and staff have worked hard over the years to make this home
a reality and the reality of it has injected excitement into everything that
we do. All that we are able to do today is built upon the work of the past!
Our school is run by a parent elected board of Directors which consists
of current and past parents. The Board of Directors, in coordination with
an Executive Director, oversees the general operation of the school and guides
us into the future. Our administrative staff assure that the basic
daily operation runs smoothly. The lifeblood of the school however, comes
from the teaching staff, those that work day in and day out with the children.
We're sure that, once you get to know us a little, you'll want to be a part
our special community.
