Our Values
At RPMS, our values aren’t simply words on a wall. They shape how we learn, work, and care for one another every day. Together, they guide children from peace within themselves to meaningful relationships, a strong school community, and an understanding of their place in the wider world.
At Rogers Park Montessori School, we value…
These values guide our decisions as educators, shape our relationships as a community, and help children become thoughtful, compassionate people who lead with purpose.
Together, they guide us toward peace within self, relationships, school, community, and ultimately, throughout the greater world.
Using the Montessori philosophy of education, our school community inspires each child to reach his or her highest potential, as an individual and a learner, and to become a vital member of the global community.
At Rogers Park Montessori School, we believe all children carry within themselves the adults they will become, and we envision a world where a child’s education allows that adult to emerge and grow.
At RPMS, diversity is rooted in the collection of our similarities and differences based on our born characteristics and lived experiences, including:
Bullying, intimidation, and harassment diminish a student’s ability to learn and a school’s ability to educate, and are never tolerated at RPMS.
Where children learn to follow their own lead — right here in Chicago’s Andersonville neighborhood.
Information about joining the RPMS community, including admissions, tuition, and financial aid.
Each stage of our Montessori journey builds confidence, independence, and a lifelong love of learning.
Our shared values guide us to peace within self, relationships, school, community, and the greater world.
