The Ratner School is a learning community that empowers, expands and awakens every child’s potential. Our student-centered learning environment opens each child’s mind through individualized attention, small group interaction and hands-on learning.  Both our curriculum (global in scope) and our approach to teaching (understanding that each student has a unique "learning fingerprint") celebrate all forms of diversity by focusing first on the individual and valuing all of the aspects that make up each student.

EMPOWER YOUR CHILD TO BE A GLOBAL CITIZEN

Our global world demands that schools prepare students to think and act like knowledgeable and responsible global citizens - armed with the skill set needed to dissect and analyze problems of global complexity. Throughout Ratner - from the Pre-Primary, through the Primary School, and continuing throughout the Middle School - our Global Studies program leverages the School's long-standing commitment to diversity to develop the skills and knowledge needed to be global citizens.

EXPAND YOUR CHILD'S CONFIDENCE

From the Montessori Pre-Primary through the Middle School, our highest priority for each student is intellectual growth, a positive sense of self and, a feeling of belonging. Every student learns a little bit differently, and a school needs to recognize that. Schools need to find ways for each student to thrive, and to be proud of his/her strengths. At The Ratner School we make sure we know each of our students so well that each teacher has a deep understanding of each student's "learning fingerprint." This helps each child gain the confidence to be an outstanding learner.
