Welcome Parents

Dear Ramona Families,

Welcome to Ramona Community Montessori School!

Since 1986 RCMS has offered free, alternative public education options for Ramona families. Recognized in 2014 as a California Distinguished School, RCMS provides Montessori based learning for students in grades TK through sixth.

 Montessori education emphasizes:

  • children developing and growing according to their own needs and at their own pace
  • observation
  • individual liberty (choice of learning activity throughout the day)
  • preparation of the (learning) environment 

Our Montessori classrooms are multi-age (1-2, 3-4, 5-6), and families should plan on a two to three year commitment to the Montessori program for maximum benefit.

RCMS is open to any family in Ramona, and our school community reflects the diversity of our town, including students with special needs. Space, however, is limited. Each year, applications are accepted beginning February 1. We do suggest a scheduled appointment (760.787.3600) to explore if RCMS  is a good match for your student and family. We look forward to working with your student.

Dr. Kathryn Gunderson, Principal
Ramona Community Montessori School Staff
