Our sons started in 2012 at preschool in RA and they were extremely happy and they both thrived academically and socially. However, when they reached K level, we placed them in public school. Unfortunately, at the time, back in 2015-2016, the curriculum in our public elementary school was very limit
Posted by a parent on 12/17/2025We chose RA believing it would be a safe, magical place a nurturing, academically challenging community where our daughter could thrive. Unfortunately, that promise hasn’t been fulfilled.The grades are too small to offer the kind of dynamic academic or social experience we had hoped for. Bullying be
Posted by a parent on 7/18/2025Our child attended RA from preschool, and we initially believed it was a good school.

Posted by a parent on 7/17/2025I just graduated from RA, and honestly, middle school there was a really negative experience.

9/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy son has been attending BMES for a few years and I am absolutely impressed by the level of excellence this school exudes. My son absolutely LOVES going to school everyday. He has learned tremendously and has hit every goal we have made together each year. The school does its best to have as many opportunities for the kids to participate in a community like activity. There are plenty of ways for parents to be involved. I am very impressed with this school and couldn’t imagine him going anywhere else!!Parent Review1y ago - Ridgefield Montessori School

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageIncredible school! We have sent three children through their school and it was the single best investment we made in Ridgefield.
