At Richmond Montessori School, we believe in preparing students not only for academic success, but for lives of purpose, curiosity, and independence. Our new 2024–2029 Strategic Plan builds on this commitment, setting a clear direction for the next five years while staying true to our Montessori mission and values. This plan is the result of months of reflection, research, and collaboration among faculty, staff, parents, trustees, and students.
Together, we’ve identified key priorities that will strengthen our programs, enhance our community, and ensure RMS continues to thrive for generations to come. Grounded in Montessori principles and responsive to the needs of today’s learners, the plan focuses on:
- Excellence in Teaching & Learning – supporting our teachers and elevating the student experience.
- Community & Belonging – fostering a welcoming, inclusive culture where every child and family feels at home.
- Sustainability & Stewardship – caring for our campus, our people, and our financial future.
- Innovation & Growth – embracing opportunities that expand our reach and impact while honoring Montessori tradition.
This is more than a roadmap—it’s a promise. Over the next five years, we will work together to strengthen the invisible structures of Montessori, deepen connections across our community, and prepare students to step confidently into the world as independent, compassionate, and lifelong learners. We invite you to join us in this exciting journey.
