Vision

Riley will be a high performing progressive school for all students. All students will be exposed to a rigorous curriculum that challenges them to think creatively, communicate effectively and develop problem-solving skills. Riley’s bilingual program maintains and develops the Spanish heritage language of students while they acquire language and biliteracy skills in English.

The goal of Riley’s Dual-Language Montessori program is to develop students who are both bilingual and billiterate, speaking, reading, writing in both languages, through the Montessori method which fosters independence and problem-solving skills. Riley school will continue to be a multicultural school community that honors cultural diversity, promotes positive character development and leads to active citizenship.

Dual Language Program

The school’s instructional program includes regular education and special education. The school also provide specialized bilingual and ESL instruction for non-English speaking students. Riley offers dual-language Montessori education beginning with grades K3 and K4. At Riley, the multicultural school community celebrates diversity and promotes positive character development. Academic and recreational activities are available in CLC and child care programs throughout the school year and in the summer.

Montessori

Developing lifelong learners in a specially prepared environment
A Montessori education is developed to foster lifelong learners and self-sufficient problem solvers. Classrooms exhibit distinctive characteristics, including multi-graded students and flexible schedules that allow students blocks of uninterrupted time to pursue their own educational interests.

Learning takes place through the senses as students manipulate materials to enhance concentration and coordination while they interact with peers. Teachers balance freedom and structure, guiding students along in self-discovery and helping them create their own individual learning plan.

Classroom materials and activities are carefully designed to develop physical, intellectual, creative, and social independence. A Montessori teacher considers each student as a whole, recognizing that a student’s physical, mental, emotional, and social well-being is intricately involved in the learning process. Classroom atmospheres encourage respect for the self and others, social support, cooperative learning, and peer-to-peer teaching.

Montessori teachers place great focus on developing a partnership with families. The family plays an important role in student growth and development, and Montessori teachers and staff aim for students to consider self-discovery as an interactive activity that continues within the home alongside family members. A Montessori education encourages families to help young learners realize their own unique talents and interests while they develop a healthy curiosity about the world.
