The Montessori Difference

An individualized approach to education that fosters curiosity, independence, and a love of learning

Limitless Learning

At Riverbend, there are no limits to what you can learn and achieve. Everything about our school is intentionally designed to create an inspiring and fully engaging learning environment for every single child.

Take a walk on our campus and you’ll experience a sense of deep purpose and boundless energy. Talk with a member of our community and you’ll quickly understand our sustained commitment to learning and to each other.

Our beautiful South Natick campus is the perfect learning environment for our curious, self-motivated, independent students.

The Power of a Montessori School

Riverbend provides a hands-on personalized academic experience in a warm, nurturing environment. Montessori education inspires students to take risks, reach new levels of achievement, and become confident, self-motivated learners for life.

Student-Centered Learning

Students are encouraged to pursue their unique academic interests without the constraints of traditional educational models.

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.

Highly Skilled Teachers

Our Montessori-trained faculty are adept at observing students and guiding them toward self-directed exploration. Classes are co-taught so each child can receive individual attention.

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 three-year cycle allows students to soar. Learn more about each program level below.
