What happens after Rivendale?
Many parents ask how their child can make the successful transfer from Rivendale Montessori School to a traditional school. Rivendale maintains good communication between the other international schools in Tokyo, thus facilitating the transfer.
Any good teacher will meet a child at that child’s own level of development and make the necessary allowances for what has already been achieved. It is important for parents to monitor their child’s work in the new academic situation and to keep in close contact with their child’s teachers. Parents and teachers working together can insure that the child will continue the love of learning acquired at Rivendale.
The habits and skills which a child develops at Rivendale class are good fore a lifetime. They will help him/her to work more efficiently, to observe more carefully and to concentrate more effectively, no matter where they go. If he/she is in a stimulating environment, whether at home or at school, his/her self education---which is the only real education---will continue.
