MISSION STATEMENT
The Lillian and Betty Ratner School, through its Montessori and Day School programs, provides an outstanding education in an innovative and nurturing environment enriched by Jewish values and traditions.
MONTESSORI PHILOSOPHY
The Montessori philosophy, with its emphasis on each child’s intellectual, social and emotional growth, provides the best foundation for the development of independence, self-confidence, curiosity, creativity, and a life-long love of learning.
JUDAIC FOUNDATION/DIVERSITY
Our racially, religiously, and ethnically diverse population participates in the study of the Hebrew language and the traditions of Judaism. Jewish holiday observations, as well as many other cultural celebrations, results in an unusually cohesive and welcoming community, respectful of the individual differences that each contributes to the success of the whole.
CHALLENGING AND ENRICHED ENVIRONMENT
The Lillian and Betty Ratner School sets rigorous academic expectations. The curriculum is enriched with a wide array of programs offering students myriad opportunities to excel. Our students may be accelerated or given assistance in specific areas based on their individual abilities and learning styles.
SELF-CONFIDENT AND PREPARED INDIVIDUALS
A child’s self-confidence is built on individual successes. Our nurturing and non-competitive environment allows children the safety and security for risk-taking and self-expression which builds leadership and citizenship.
