How Children learn influences who they become. Located on a beautiful, fifteen-acre campus, RMS offers an authentic Montessori education for children 18-months through eighth grade. RMS combines mixed-age groups with three-year cycles in a prepared environment. Our experienced teachers have Montessori training for the age groups they serve and are committed to following the child and providing individualized education. RMS is a culturally diverse community representing families from over 25 countries and has served the Rochester community for over 50 years. Our ultimate goal is to empower children in their educational journey to become confident, critical thinkers with a strong sense of purpose in the world.
Rochester Montessori School was established in 1968 by a small
group of parents seeking the best possible secular education for
their children. After researching the possibilities, it was
determined that the Montessori philosophy was the best option.
Over the years, RMS has grown from its original class of
twelve students to its present size of more
than 200 children. With the investment of land in 2004
for a dedicated campus, long gone are the days of renting space.
There will always be many fond memories of our early
beginnings that included space at the Congregational Church, the
Rochester Township Hall, Assisi Heights, Bethel Lutheran Church,
and Christ United Methodist Church downtown. Today, RMS
resides on a beautiful and serene 15 acre campus and it has served
families in Rochester and the surrounding areas for nearly 50
years. The growth and success of RMS could not have happened
without the support of our community. And, great pride is
taken in the fact that the Montessori philosophy has been embraced
and continues to thrive at RMS and the greater Rochester area.
