School Notes
- School Motto: 'Rivendell believes that learning to get along with a wide range of people and respecting differences has lasting benefits.'
- Parents observing for the first time in our classrooms are struck by the busy hum of activity and how capable and independent our students are.Indeed, one parent remarked, "I am doing way too much for my child!"Our Montessori classrooms are specially prepared environments, designed to allow children to move about freely and to select activities which stimulate their interest and meet their developmental needs.
