I have two children at RKMS. The teachers are experienced and second to none. They have a great balance of play and academics. The families are wonderful and are very committed to the school. Finally, the building and facilities make it a very special place.

This is our 7th year at Ronald Knox - our three son attended. It is an amazing place - the growth in our children during their pre-school years was remarkable.
This marks our 11th and final year at Ronald Knox, which my four sons each attended. It has been a truly wonderful experience for each of them. As the boys are now making their way through elementary, middle and junior high school, I continue to see the impact on their curiosity, intellect, ability to focus on the task at hand, and in their courtesy toward adults and other children. I would recommend Ronald Knox without hesitation to any parent who is looking for a caring and nurturing environment where their child will thrive academically, socially and emotionally. We will miss you, RKMS!!
We have been very pleased with Ronald Knox Montessori School. Wonderful environment, wonderful teachers. I appreciated the parent education. Following Montessori philosophy has made us better parents. The school set in the middle of park has been inducive to many extra outdoor activities all year around. The school has very wholesome approach - from respecting children's individualities, education, nutrition as well as respect to others and the world around them.
Ronald Knox has exceeded our expectations. Academically, our 3 year old has learned more this year than my nephew did as a kindergartener. Plus, she absolutely adores her teachers and the many friends she has made so I know that she truly enjoys her school time.
We are pleased with the education our daughter has received at RKMS. The teachers are compassionate about the work they do and the classroom enviornment is top-notch.
Ronald Knox is an amazing place. Both of my children have thrived in their nurturing environment and learned important skills (e.g., how to show compassion, how to problem solve difficult situations, etc.) that will serve them well all throughout their lives.

I am alum of RKMS and have my 3rd child attending the school. There is no other preschool on the North Shore like Ronald Knox. Committed parents and teachers uphold the highest standards of learning and provide the most impressive environment for children at a crucial time in their development. With the outstanding staff and now state of the art facility it is far and above the BEST preschool in New Trier Township.
