Risen Lord Montessori School, serving children ages three to six, opened its doors in September of 2004 in response to the obvious need for Montessori schools on the south side of Indianapolis. In addition to Indianapolis, it serves the communities of Bargersville, Center Grove, Franklin, Greenwood, Martinsville, Mooresville, New Whiteland,Trafalgar, and Whiteland. As Maria Montessori said, "If houses for children do not exist then let us build them." RLMS fills a unique niche in the community as not only one of the few Montessori schools on the south side, but also one of the only Christian Montessori schools in the metropolitan Indianapolis area. Housed within Risen Lord Lutheran Church as one of its ministries, it is located on ten beautiful acres in Johnson County and has the full support of a dynamic and growing church..
We offer full and half day classes three or five days a week.

the classrooms are new and well equipped. There is a very nice playground that is accessible directly from the classrooms. The teachers just open the doors and the kids get to have fresh air and run and play. There is a nice kitchen very close to the classrooms and we have used that to make yeast rolls with the kids. I like that the heritage of the children varies. We have kids with backgrounds from India, Norway, and Japan, as well as "old stock" Americans. The current director is Stephanie St. John, and she has a masters degree in Montessori. I'm impressed with how she talks & interacts with the kids. The other teacher in Stephanie's class is Jennifer, who has a teaching degree as well as being a Montessori mom. They put on very nice special events for various holidays. I drive a long way to bring my child to this school. It is the only pre-K program that has well educated teachers and such a low teacher to student ratio. They also have a garden outside of the playground area and kids can explore that large grassy area on occasion. Every now and then there are art activities. Music activities are less frequent. I'd love to see more of that. Overall this is a wonderful school and I only wish that I lived closer to it so I wouldn't have a long drive!

RLMS is a wonderful school and I was very pleased to know that they are the only school in the area who has a Montessori certified teacher in every room and who has put all of their teaching assistants through Montessori training as well. They have the warmth of a small school and are a wonderful asset to the community. I have thoroughly enjoyed my experience with them and look forward watching them continue to grow.
