“Help me to do it by myself”

Welcome to R.S.M. Montessori School, Rancho Santa Margarita’s first Montessori School.  We have been serving the educational needs of children in our city since January of 1993.  Our goal here is to offer each child every possible opportunity to reach his or her highest potential.  We strive to prepare our students with a love for learning about the world we live in.  We believe every child has great gifts to offer this world.  It is our job to encourage them in the discovery of these special gifts.

"And gradually we educators are confronted with a simple but important fact: that to help the child is not what he needs, and indeed that to give help is an impediment for the child. Therefore he must be allowed to act freely on his own initiative in this free environment." - Maria Montessori
