RiverRun Montessori, Schenectady | Fees, Rankings, Address, Admission, Vacancies, Reviews & More

Our daughter just finished her first year at RiverRun and we couldn’t be happier with the school. It’s truly a community of students, teachers, parents, administrative staff and board members all contributing to what the school and students need to be successful. Speaking specifically of our experience in the Primary Class- the teachers, assistants, and staff were all excellent. Such a caring group that was able to devote a lot of one-on-one time and attention to students.

We were amazed at our 5 year old coming home with new books she had mastered reading, excited about a math or science project she was working on, or even speaking a few words of Chinese she had learned as part of the foreign language program. Along with music, gym and a lot of time spent outside learning about nature- it would be difficult to find a more well-rounded program.

Montessori is a very special method of learning and one that the RiverRun does exceptionally well.

RiverRun Montessori provided a great experience for my daughter from age 3 in Primary with Maureen through age 8 in Lower Elementary with Amy and Karen.

She transferred to public school in 4th grade after her Lower Elementary cycle was finished. Her transfer was seamless and she has excelled in her 4th grade class. The academics easily transferred to the common core teachings used in public school. She was exactly where she needed to be academically without ever having homework or testing previously, proving to me the Montessori method works!

She is socially fluent and mature which I credit much to the close eye kept at RiverRun on social development and the peace curriculum.

RiverRun is very hands on for parents and relies on volunteerism and fundraising as part of its daily running and bottom line. It was nice to be able to be so involved with the school.

Our son has been attending RiverRun for a year now and our experience has been very positive.
The rooms are always clean and organized. The playground area is well maintained and has plenty of space for kids to play.
Thanks to the talented and caring teachers, our son has flourished academically and socially. The teachers pay close attention to each and every child, skillfully guiding them on their learning path. Any updates regarding our child’s needs and achievements are consistently provided.
The school maintains strong communication, ensuring everyone is always on the same page.
Another great aspect of being a part of the RiverRun family is the community. The school hosts various events where parents and children participate.
Overall, we are very satisfied and happy with RiverRun, for providing safe, engaging, and fun learning environment and experience.
