Welcome from the Head of School
We’re so glad you found us!
From the time they’re toddlers until they’re ready to graduate as eighth graders, Riverbend students love coming to school! As Head of School I often welcome the children in the mornings, and am enchanted by how happily and purposefully they hurry to their classrooms. In the afternoons they’re reluctant to leave, and many remain on campus for after school care, enrichments, or athletic programs. I’m so proud to lead a school that makes learning joyful through a truly individualized approach, a beautiful purpose-built Montessori environment, and a community that cares for the whole family. As you continue to learn more about our school, I think you’ll agree that it’s an extraordinary place.
Our beautiful campus in South Natick is an inspiring location for learning. Our facilities have everything you could hope for in an educational setting – bright, airy classrooms and specialized learning materials, modern spaces for art, music, and gym class, and a fully stocked Design Lab for creative pursuits. And that’s just inside the buildings! Step outside and you’ll find sprawling green fields, engaging playground spaces, and a forest in our backyard. A short ride on our mini-bus takes students to our vast five-acre satellite campus, where outdoor learning, nature-based play, and curiosity await. Every day is an adventure for a Riverbend student.
As a Montessori school, Riverbend features a unique educational model where students have room to explore and study in their own way. They aren’t confined by desks or textbooks or waiting for the bell to ring at the end of class. Instead, they have the freedom to move around and do their work at their own pace in a variety of settings. Our expert teachers guide students through the scope and sequence of the curriculum at every level, helping them to explore their unique interests while also mastering essential grade-level skills. Our graduates are more than ready for the challenges of high school and beyond, and we’re so proud of them!
As we celebrate our 15th anniversary as the premier Montessori school in the Metrowest area, we would love to welcome you in person to our campus. Please sign up here to schedule your visit. We can’t wait to meet you!
In partnership,
Brooke Hopkins
Head of School
