MESSAGE FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

Dear Prospective Parents, Students, and Community Members,

I am delighted to extend a warm welcome to you as you explore Riverside Montessori Academy, where we are dedicated to nurturing young minds and fostering a lifelong passion for learning. For over forty years, our school has been a pillar of educational excellence and a cherished part of our community, rooted in the core values of respect, curiosity, and holistic development.


At Riverside Montessori Academy, we understand that choosing the right school for your child is one of the most important decisions you will make. Our mission is to provide a nurturing and stimulating environment where each child’s unique potential can flourish. Our educational philosophy is deeply grounded in the Montessori method, which emphasizes hands-on learning, self-directed activity, and collaborative play. This approach helps children develop independence, critical thinking, and a profound understanding of the world around them.
 

Our dedicated team of educators, led by passionate professionals such as Mrs. Tyra Moody, our Program Coordinator, and Mrs. Cookie Amador and Mrs. Radika Ratnayaka, our Campus Directors, is committed to creating a supportive and inspiring environment for every student. They bring a wealth of experience and a heartfelt dedication to their roles, ensuring that your child receives the best possible education.
 

Our school is more than just an educational institution; it is a vibrant community where students, parents, and staff come together to support and uplift each other. We take immense pride in our rich history, inspired by my parents, Mr. and Mrs. Chandrapala, whose love for education and visionary leadership laid the foundation for our school. Their legacy is a testament to the transformative power of education and the profound impact that a dedicated educator can have on students' lives.
 

As you consider Riverside Montessori Academy for your child's education, I invite you to visit our campus, meet our talented teachers, and experience the warm, welcoming atmosphere that defines our school. We are committed to fostering an environment where every child can thrive academically, socially, and emotionally.
 

Thank you for considering Riverside Montessori Academy as the place where your child's educational journey will begin. We look forward to partnering with you to inspire the next generation of thinkers, leaders, and compassionate individuals.
