My two children have been at RiverRun since 2014, and our experience has been wonderful. It's a warm community of curious and engaged learners, committed to the Montessori method of child-led pedagogy. The Montessori peace curriculum and an intentional emphasis on social-emotional learning make RiverRun's classrooms not just a place for intellectual exploration and mastery of scholastic skills, but a place where kids learn to negotiate with one another and build consensus to strengthen their classroom communities. And the Montessori commitment to no homework and no testing means our home life is also more peaceful! I'd recommend Montessori in general and RiverRun in particular to any parent looking for an alternative to public or traditional-model private school.
