Research Ruffing Montessori School private Schools in Cleveland, Ohio

“The Montessori method delivered at Ruffing is currently the best style of education and this has been proven by the success of the Ruffing kids in high school. In my opinion, this school is not for everyone, particularly those kids who have disabilities, as the principal is not particularly accommodating and it does not have psychologists or the usual other resources. For most however, the teaching approach and the individual's responsibility for himself and others is very beneficial. Extra-curricular activities are limited as again in my opinion, the principal is not particularly in support of them. Most teachers are very good and parental support is strong.”

“We love Ruffing! We are thrilled that our son will be here until the 8th grade. Now to get a Ruffing Montessori High School - that would truly be a dream come true!”

“My son currently attends Ruffing. The school is outstanding. Every teacher takes a personal interest in the overall well-being of each child. The parents and teachers go out of their way to make the school a welcoming place that is committed to the education of each child. Familiy is a top priority of the school with activities planned throughout the year to achieve this goal. Each child is made accountable for their actions leading to a more responsible and cohesive attmosphere. I would highly recommend the school to anyone that wants the absolute best education for their child(ren).”

“I have had 3 students attend and graduate from this school. The academic and moral development is wonderful, as is the family atmosphere. Because the students attend the same school for so long, the teachers know everyone. The level of responsibility and behavior expected of the middle schoolers is far superior to the traditional public middle school. I would highly recommend it!”

“Ruffing is really a special place. From my first visit, I was struck by how excited the kids were about learning. The teachers are outstanding and the family involvement is extraordinary. John McNamara's commitment to every child holds everything together.”
