—Maria Montessori
Our Vision
Empowering creative learners to build community and thoughtfully shape the world through public Montessori education.
Our Mission
We provide an academically rigorous Montessori education. Students balance their freedom to explore and think for themselves with their responsibility to work and learn within a community.
Our Equity and Inclusion Statement
Ridgeline is deeply committed to providing each student with equal opportunities regardless of age, gender, sexual orientation, race, religion, color, national origin, and disability. We welcome all who choose a public Montessori education. Please see our full Equity and Inclusion Statement.

Inclement Weather Policy
NO NEWS = N0 CHANGE. If schools are on their regular schedule there will NOT be an announcement.
In the case of inclement weather that would make roads, school parking lots, driveways or sidewalks unsafe for travel, please watch for notification on http://www.ridgeline.org.
School Closure = No school for students. Decisions about afternoon/evening activities will be made by noon.
Two-Hour Delay: School starts two hours late and ends at the usual school dismissal time. If a delay occurs on an early release Friday, school will still be dismissed at the early release time.
Ridgeline Montessori Public Charter School values safety. Neither 4J nor Ridgeline can make a decision based on conditions near individual families. Families are encouraged to consider road and sidewalk conditions in their areas and make decisions based on safety. Ridgeline honors families’ decisions about school attendance in these conditions.
