Our School

RHMS prides itself on being a leading Montessori school for over thirty years. Over our three decades of service, we have educated thousands of children in our positive and progressive learning environment. Our methods empower children to form their own identity, and strive with ambition towards the goals that they choose. The foundation that our private school provides gives children the tools to succeed at higher levels of education and beyond.

Montessori

Montessori School classrooms at RHMS include students who are three years and eight months, four, and five years of age, providing an abundance of opportunities for learning, helping to create a sense of community where everyone contributes to and takes responsibility for the functioning and maintenance of the environment (classroom). The older children provide leadership and guidance, and act as models for the younger children; they benefit by helping the younger children, reinforcing skills and knowledge previously learned, and gain satisfaction and self-worth by helping others. Our classrooms have no more than twenty students with two full time experienced staff members. 

Montessori Schools and their curriculum, like the world, must evolve in order to ensure they become leading Private Educational Institutions. Our Montessori School is committed to remaining current and preparing its students to participate fully and effectively in today's society.

At RHMS, we are very proud of our long-standing Montessori teachers, some of whom have chosen to work at RHMS from other Montessori Schools in Toronto. They have been with us for many years and bring vast experience and dedication to our program. Their loving and nurturing nature, along with their enthusiasm for teaching, has provided a wonderful environment for children to learn.

French

The ability to communicate in French and appreciate French culture is an important component of a well-rounded education. French is introduced at the Montessori level through pre-reading and word recognition activities to help develop confidence and competence in French. The vocabulary practiced includes numbers, colours, the date, the seasons, and the weather.
