The mission of Rising Sun Montessori Charter School is to provide an authentic Montessori education in a school community that embraces the diversity of our students, parents, and teachers. Our school community will nurture the individual needs of each child in a learning environment that encourages students to be self-directed, avid learners who are prepared for a diverse world.
With a foundation in the Montessori Method, Rising Sun Montessori Charter School offers traditional subject areas of Math, Science, English, Social Studies, and Art, in line with the Common Core State Standards. Students’ coursework will prepare them for both life, and the world of work.
