About
Our School
Racine Montessori School is dedicated to providing the children in our communities with an authentic Montessori experience where they will discover the joy of learning and a true appreciation and respect for all humanity and the universe we live in.
We have welcomed children and the unique gifts they each bring to our school for the last 61 years. RMS is currently the only private Montessori school in the Racine/Kenosha area to offer a middle school program. Our classes are divided into four levels, Children’s House for preschool through kindergarten, Lower Elementary for grades one through three, Upper Elementary for grades four through six and Adolescent for grades seven and eight.
What Guides Us
MISSION STATEMENT
Racine Montessori School is part of a global community that guides the whole child toward a life-long love of learning. Children develop independence, confidence, moral responsibility, social purpose and inner peace through teacher guidance on self-directed work in a non-competitive atmosphere. Our school strives to offer strong academics and support in a setting of self-respect, respect for others and respect for our environment.

"I have a lot of positive memories of RMS which is great because it was my first time in school! I spent a lot of time there including summer school. I remember reading a lot in the reading corner, gardening and cleaning vegetable, and coloring pictures of princesses with my friends!"
