Our family has been a part of Ruffing Montessori for over 5 years now. Both of our children are thriving in their classroom environment. We appreciate Ruffing's approach to learning by "following the child" and letting children discover and have a fondness of learning. The balance of fluidity in the space along with guidance from the teachers brings a love of learning from within the child.

We wanted our children to be part of a community that promotes life-long learning and celebrates each child for their individual strengths and uniqueness and that is exactly what we get at Ruffing. The faculty and staff share their strong belief in the Montessori method and each teacher and staff member that we have experienced has shown genuine care and love for our children. We feel very fortunate to have our boys in such a wonderful school and truly love being part of this community.

It's been quite the opposite actually. The staff and families are very inclusive. It is a true multi-cultural community of all...

I was briefly involved with this school. What struck me was that the student body lacked any diversity: mostly white, upper middle class and beyond children. Although caring in their own way, the administration and staff seemed similarly biased and turned toward very bougie ideals. This is not the s...
