98% of Our Students Meet or Exceed National Benchmarks
At Turtle River Montessori, we believe the earliest years of education shape a child's academic path. By the time our students complete their first Montessori cycle, 98% meet or exceed first-grade readiness benchmarks, based on national academic and developmental measures. Our students don't just move forward. They are equipped with the academic knowledge and social-emotional confidence to succeed at the next level.
Through a learning experience grounded in Montessori philosophy, we prepare students to thrive academically, socially and emotionally as they transition to elementary school.
