Ramalynn Montessori Academy

Ramalynn is a small school with a very large impact. Academics are impressive; sports are excellent; and culture makes Ramalynn a school like none other. We, my partner and I, want our children to grow with knowledge, confidence, kindness and tolerance. The students of Ramalynn are disproportionately represented in top academic and athletic honors, but their ability to weather defeat and help each other through loss is truly remarkable. If we are daring to achieve in our lives, we will all fail and lose along the way. The students of Ramalynn are taught, practice and demonstrate resilience. We also want our children to have a global appreciation and tolerance. Lack of prejudice is learned at Ramalynn by knowledge of the world and an appreciation for culture. The academic viewpoint is not "other cultures and people," but just culture and people. Approaching humanities with this mindset allows greater tolerance and appreciation for each other. I do not expect our children to be college or professional athletes, but Ramalynn has nurtured many young athletes, who have gone on for remarkable athletic careers. Mr. Krishna's ability to connect, motivate and teach sports and how to be a team should be the focus of a master class for ALL coaches. Ms. Cassy incredibly recognizes and appreciates each child's (yes EACH) gifts while nurturing curiosity and development. In Ramalynn Montessori Academy tradition, the teachers are a curated team from preschool through 8th grade, effectively educating to surpass standardized testing expectations, inter-school competitions and real world challenges. The multitude of incredibly successful and creative students and parents of high integrity are not on the walls or website. Word of accolades achieved by former students and parents is quietly passed with genuine happiness for another's success. Ramalynn's value is not in being a scene to be seen or an association to "name drop." Ramalynn is invaluable as a school because it is designed to and succeeds in allowing every child to become the most they can be while having enough courage to support their classmates to succeed.

Both my children have been students at Ramalynn. My daughter went on to Blake and then the U as a STEM Major with Honors and my son is currently enrolled. It is a second home for the children and has a very strong academic environment. The school is diverse, has an amazing sports camp, and fosters a love of learning. As a Ramalynn parent for 17 years, I couldn't be happier with the school. The sports program is co-ed with girls and boys competing together - very confidence-building. I would highly recommend the school to anyone considering a private school - you won't find anything better.

my son went to school there and had a so-so experience. if you are an athlete and stay on krishna's good side you are fine but if you do not want to play in his little sports camp he takes it out on your kids. i chose to keep my son out of sports camp and krishna proceeded to berate me in the parking lot, calling me and my family not worthy of being part of any community and cussing at me. krishna is a very spiteful man. avoid him at all cost

Terrible ownerI used to be a student at Ramalynn for 5 yearsOne example of the owner, Krishna being a douchey inconsiderate jackass was when I had just gotten my 2 fully rooted canines pulled it was the same day we had to run the mile and when I got back to school 30 MINUTES after the operation with gauze still in my mouth, and my mom had left ms Rachel walked me out to let Krishna know I was back and the moment he saw me he came over to me and told me to come over and run the mile now.When I said I couldn't he started yelling at me and telling me if I didn't run the mile right now I would not be allowed to go to Valleyfair at the end of the year and he kept yelling at to the point that I was full on crying on the grass and he only stoped when ms Rachel can out and made him stop and told him I couldn't really n that day because of my operation but he said I didn't matter and that I wouldn't be going to valley fair and she brought me in and cleaned me up and then a month later he fired her for defying him. Another thing is that past 3rd grade if you don't join and pay for his after school sports camp you are publicly shamed and it affects your grades he lowers your grades And fails your tests if you don't join and pay.
