The Power of a Montessori School
Riverbend provides a hands-on personalized academic experience in a caring environment. Montessori education inspires students to take risks, reach new levels of achievement, and become confident learners for life.
Student-Centered Learning
Students are encouraged to pursue their unique academic interests without the constraints of traditional educational models.
Highly Skilled Teachers
Our Montessori-trained faculty are adept at observing students and guiding them through the curriculum. Classes are co-taught for individualized attention.
Multi-Age Classrooms
Looping classrooms allow students to stay in the same class for 3 years. This leads to unique opportunities for leadership, mentoring, and community-building.
Intentional Learning Spaces
Carefully crafted learning spaces feature an open layout, unique learning materials, and a calm atmosphere that facilitates deep learning.
One Continuous Program
From Toddler through 8th Grade, our program is designed to build on learning from one stage to the next. Students thrive at each level as the curriculum introduces them to challenging, age-appropriate materials. The multi-year cycle allows students to soar. Learn more about each program level below.
