Selecting a School

Riverstone Montessori understands that when searching for the right fit the search can become stressful and overwhelming. To alleviate some of that stress we have some questions for you to consider.

Does the school align with my Parenting Philosophy?

It is important to ensure that the program’s philosophy aligns with your own parenting values and beliefs. Look for a program that shares your vision for your child’s education and development.

How does this program prepare my child?

Is my child learning to be a creative/critical thinker? How does this program differ from traditional school teaching? Will my child learn skills that will benefit him in the future even with evolution? With how much the world around us changes daily, it is important to find a program that allows you to feel that your child will be given the tools necessary for the future.

Are the school values what I’m looking for?

Every school culture is different and as a parent we understand that this is very important when trying to choose a school for your child. When touring, consider asking questions about the expectations of the school regarding academics, parent involvement, and how the school builds partnerships that will help cultivate your child’s growth.
