The happiest years of Rader's life …

The happiest years of Rader's life were those he spent as a student at Montessori School of Mauldin, from age three through fifth grade. An exceptionally bright and creative child, Rader began to feel stifled and discouraged once he was enrolled in public middle school. We know there are other elementary- and middle-school-aged children whose needs are not well met by the traditional educational model. Our scholarships enable us to help some of those who aren't easily able to afford tuition to a school more appropriate to their learning styles.

We have four partner schools in Greenville County, S.C.: Montessori School of Mauldin, Faith Montessori Homeschool Co-op, Fern Montessori, and Five Oaks Academy.
