The Montessori Difference

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

Riverbend School is the premier Pre-K through 8th Grade Montessori school in the Metrowest area. Starting with toddlers age 18 months, we feature small class sizes, individualized learning, and a warm, nurturing community. Riverbend is the perfect place for families who expect more from their school.

The unique Montessori learning model allows students to flourish in ways that just aren’t possible at other schools. Visit our campus to experience the special community where kids love coming to school!

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 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.
