In the beginning of the pandemic we were hesitant about sending our kids for in person classes at HRIMS. It turned out to be the best decision we ever made for our family. Our sons are thriving and happy! The school administration, teachers and staff have exceeded our expectations; you all work really hard to keep a safe environment but managed to keep a nurturing and fun environment for the kids. We are so grateful!

We did extensive research when it was time to send our daughter Hillary to school. I wanted her first educational experience to be positive and to spark a hunger to learn. I read about Montessori and was intrigued by how it allows children to follow their passions and become self-motivated, confident, joyful individuals. When I toured HRIMS I knew this is where our family belongs. The children are happy and focused. The environment is bright and clean with positive, nurturing staff and the parents are people I would choose as friends. Hillary has been taught how to interact respectfully with others and completes unique activities every day that teach her why, not just how. We couldn't be more pleased with the experience Hillary has had at HRIMS, and though it's sad for me when she hops out of the car at school in the morning and rushes off before telling me goodbye, I know it's because she loves HRIMS and can't wait to start her day.

Since transferring to HRIMS, my son has rediscovered his love of learning. He is excited to come to school everyday and tells me he has a great day always. He feels supported and cared for by his teacher and I have seen such a remarkable difference in his attitude when it comes to schooling.

We really appreciate the efforts the entire staff puts in every day to focus on learning but also maintaining a safe and healthy environment for our children.

Even though virtual school can be difficult or frustrating at times, we really appreciate the accommodations that our school is making for us and all of the incredibly hard work and effort our teachers are putting in for our child. We are grateful that we are able to value our family's safety while also valuing Owen's education."

-My son had a very difficult time when he first moved to this country. After starting HRIMS we saw a dramatic change in him. He became so independent and self-reliant, helping cook breakfast, and cleaning up after himself. I believe this school has made the world of difference for him and helped him to grow so much. Thank you!

      HRIMS has been a wonderful learning environment for our two children. The Montessori method is preparing them for life in the 21st century by teaching them how to think critically and problem solve. HRIMS staff has been able to the meet the specific learning needs of our children and enable them to progress in areas where they experienced challenges. We plan to keep both our children in HRIMS through the Elementary program.

- Mike and Mary Flaherty Elementary parents

      We originally chose HRIMS for our son because we have a nephew who had attended a different Montessori school and we were familiar with the Montessori philosophy of education. We liked the concepts of not only focusing on education but teaching basic living skills and responsibility as well. The positive teaching methods exercised by the school prove to be beneficial to a child's overall development. The teachers at HRIMS are not only teachers but coaches and friends to the students. HRIMS provides a learning environment that is fun, flexible and educational that proves to be beneficial to a child's early development.

Our son loves his class. He is thriving in his classroom environment. He is excited and motivated to attend school each day and enjoys the lessons he receives. He is proud of his accomplishments and is eager to share his most recent discoveries with us at home! Our children’s teachers really feel like partners with us in caring for our children. Teachers and staff at HRIMS are truly amazing. Thank you for being an extension of our family!

-Jason and Addilynn Holloman Elementary parents

Our daughter is more independent after going to HRIMS. She wants to try everything by herself first and explore. Interest and curiosity is very much encouraged in the class which is clearly evident in the child's progress. The teachers and the whole team are always very patient with children and teach them discipline and respect. Thank you every one!

Having transferred our daughter here mid-year during the 'distance learning' nonsense we noticed a marked improvement in her reading performance after just a few weeks.
