Racine Montessori School has enjoyed an excellent reputation in our community and the surrounding area since 1963.
We are proud of our highly-qualified staff and of our curriculum, which nourishes the whole child, not just in academics, but also the respect, independence and gentleness of each child.
We welcome as new students children of all races, nationalities and creeds.
Taking prospective parents on tours through our school is one of my greatest joys! I know how precious your child is to you, and I want you to see how we value and love each child in our school.
During a tour, visitors notice the quiet buzz of learning that takes place in our multi-aged classrooms.
You will see the happiness and independence of the children as they choose their work.
The respect the children have for each other, for adults, for classroom materials, and animals will also be apparent throughout the school.
These classrooms are a wonderful and positive introduction to a lifetime of learning.

School Reviews
5 4/6/2020
My son is in his third year at RMS. I cannot say enough good things about the school, the teachers, the administration, the methods- Everything. The rate at which he is learning far trumps what I was able to do in a public school setting. There is definitely something to be said about, "the Montessori way". Being a smaller school, and having children in three levels in one classroom, creates an environment of family. This environment extends to the parents as well. You won't see any bullying, only kindness, empathy and a cooperative spirit.
