Riverbend is a dynamic young school whose history includes the merger of two highly respected Montessori schools, Natick Montessori and Eliot Montessori, to create a learning experience that spans the Toddler years right up through Middle School. Riverbend graduates students who are passionately curious, compassionate about their communities and the people who live in them, and who are dedicated to making positive change in the world. With Maria Montessori’s charge to “follow the child,” the faculty and staff of Riverbend guide each child’s educational journey, teaching, guiding, and nurturing along the way. Children discover what they love, what they know and want to know, and do it as members of a diverse, inclusive community of learners.
