FOUNDING PRINCIPLES

  • Rich Academic Program: We leverage the talents and instincts of our devoted teachers, staff members and School leaders to provide customized educational opportunities to inspire an ongoing quest for knowledge and prepare students to compete and succeed in an advanced academic environment.
  • Diversity: We build a strong multi-cultural community of students, families and leaders that is appreciative of our School's racially, religiously and ethnically diverse population.
  • Montessori Influence: We respect the unique characteristics, personalities and abilities of the individual, our educational program is tailored to complement the developmental levels of each child.





The Journey
At The Lillian and Betty Ratner School, each child thrives. From a nurturing Montessori Pre-Primary environment through an innovative Primary and Middle School program, our students emerge from the different stages of their educational journey intellectually prepared. Throughout this journey, our students develop a strong sense of self and an innate desire to acquire more knowledge and understanding of the world around them. 

The People
Our teachers and staff leaders are the backbone of our organization. Their passionate approach to connecting with students and families allows our professionals to recognize the educational promise of each child and craft a tailored curriculum—traditional and progressive—to access that potential. Our teachers inspire and cultivate great communicators, risk-takers and independent thinkers.

The Environment
Enriched by a mosaic of diverse cultures and influenced by the Montessori philosophy, our learning environment provides students, families and staff the foundation for a truly transformative experience. At The Ratner School, everyone's opinions are valued, innovation and collaboration are rewarded and different learning styles are not only accepted, but optimized within an unparalleled, educational journey.
