Ruffing Montessori School has been in business since 1959 as an independent school from toddler through eighth grade. It offers before- and after-school programs, summer camp and foreign language activity. Multi-age classrooms are geared to educate children to their fullest potential, increasing independence and social responsibility. Financial aid is available upon completion of a yearly application and is based on need. Ruffing Montessori School is a very private community that is safe and full of life. Outdoor activities take place on the 2.2 acre lot.
