Parent association · Richmond
Helping Richmond’s Montessori Kids Learn, Grow and Explore.
Three schools. One Montessori community.
Run entirely by parent volunteers, RAM brings together families from Manoah Steves, Garden City and James McKinney Elementary.
We fund teacher training, support our classrooms, and work alongside the school district to keep Richmond’s Montessori program strong.
Every family is part of it, and every bit of help makes a difference for our kids.
Ways to Make a Difference
Membership keeps RAM running. The bursary helps our teachers keep learning too.
For families
Membership & Cash Drive
Every Montessori family is part of RAM, no fee required. Membership is voluntary and by donation, and every gift, large or small, helps fund teacher development and the extras that make our classrooms special.
For teachers
Teacher Bursary Program
RAM helps fund ongoing professional development for the teachers in Richmond's Montessori classrooms.
