RMS Annual Fund 2025: "Together, We Grow"

Each year, our Annual Fund provides an opportunity for the Rochester Montessori community to come together in support of what makes our school exceptional: dedicated educators, curious learners, and a shared commitment to Montessori values. This year, our goal is to raise $40,000, to be shared equally between Professional Development for our teachers and to create the new RMS Scholarship Fund.

Your gift to Professional Development helps our teachers: 

• Continue their Montessori training, explore new ideas, and bring fresh inspiration to RMS. 
• Attend certification programs, workshops, and Montessori conferences.

Our teachers model what we teach: curiosity, growth, and lifelong learning. Your support fuels that journey.

Your gift to the Scholarship Fund expands access to a Montessori education at RMS. This fund provides tuition assistance for both current families who may need support and new families hoping to join our school, ensuring financial barriers do not limit a child’s opportunity to learn, grow, and thrive in our community.

Your support helps:

• Provide tuition assistance to current families.
• Welcome new families to Rochester Montessori School.
• Ensure children can continue their Montessori journey and fully participate in the life of our school.

This fund strengthens the foundation of our school by empowering more families to experience the RMS difference, a nurturing, child-centered education where every student is seen, valued, and supported.

When you contribute to the Annual Fund, you’re not just giving to a cause — you’re investing in people: our teachers, our students, and the vibrant, diverse community that defines Rochester Montessori School. Together, we can continue to make RMS a place where every child can grow, learn, and belong.
