The Lilian & Betty Ratner School


The school motto, “Where each child thrives,” lies at the heart of what makes The Lillian and Betty Ratner School so special. Committed to the ideal that every student can succeed if enough care and attention is given to working with that child, they begin by identifying each student’s unique “learning fingerprint” -- each student’s strengths, preferences, pre- ferred modes of learning, scholastic goals and challenges.


Because they are so focused on these “learning fingerprints,” Ratner classrooms are vibrant places of learn- ing where each student is engaged and is ultimately able to find success. The Montessori division has a toddler program, aged 20 months-3 years, and a 3-6 program that takes students through Kindergarten. The Day School division goes from grades 1-8.
