Oakland Montessori School vs. The Renaissance International School

For over 30 years Oakland Montessori School has been dedicated to supporting the independent, confident child -- balancing impressive classroom learning with the accompanying social, creative and physical discovery and development that is so vital to young children.

In this gentle Follow the child approach, children are allowed to follow their own instincts to explore, move, share with a group, to be independent and make decisions, create order, develop self-control, abstract ideas from experience, use the creative imagination, work hard, repeat, concentrate and perfect one's efforts and creations.

The Renaissance International School is a Montessori school in Oakland, California for children age 2 years old through elementary school.

The curriculum includes the full substance of a traditional curriculum and then goes beyond by offering a strong music, visual arts, and language immersion component.

Our students thrive in our trilingual immersion environment (English/Spanish/French). Students progress individually under the guidance of native speakers.

The school is a multi-cultural environment.  Children from East Bay cities such as Oakland, Berkeley, San Leandro, Orinda, Piedmont and Alameda attend the school.
