Over the course of time, “going back to basics” has served many schools well. Children at the elementary grades of educational development require very basic needs. The first need is a small overall class size. Our entire student enrollment will only be 30 or less including all grades. Secondly, personalized classroom instruction for each student. Many university studies have shown that the more individual time a teacher spend with a student leads to much more academic success in current and future educational endeavors. The third need is strong, consistent, and candid communications with the student’s family to ensure an on-going external support network. Again, several studies have determined that when a student has a distinct lack of family support outside of the classroom there have been higher incidences of behavior and academic problems.

We, at the Montessori School of San Ramon feel that your child is unique and special to this world. The more we can support and nurture your child’s desire for exploration, experimentation, and investigation the more your child will want to learn and grow. The Montessori School of San Ramon offers that child who needs an enriched program an accelerated rigor of study that will challenge their cognitive and academic abilities to the fullest.
