Frequently Asked Questions
Choosing a homeschool enrichment program is an important decision. Below you’ll find answers to common questions about how our Montessori Homeschool Enrichment model works, enrollment requirements, and what families can expect.
If your question is not answered here, we’re happy to connect personally.
Program Overview
What is RMA Homeschool Enrichment?
Renaissance Montessori Alliance is a one-day-per-week Montessori Homeschool Enrichment Program for Kindergarten and Elementary students (ages 5–12).
We provide authentic Montessori instruction in a structured enrichment day while families remain the primary educators.
Is this a full homeschool program?
No. Families remain responsible for their primary homeschool curriculum, planning, and compliance.
We provide structured Montessori enrichment support — not full-time schooling.
How is this Montessori school?
RMA Homeschool Enrichment is designed to complement homeschooling, not replace it. Your family remains responsible for your child's primary education and curriculum at home.
One day each week, your child joins RMA for a full day of Montessori enrichment, with access to authentic materials, experienced teachers, mixed-age peers, collaborative learning, and the rhythms of a Montessori classroom.
It's a way to give your child the benefits of a Montessori school community while keeping the flexibility and freedom of homeschooling.
What makes RMA unique?
RMA isn't a drop-in enrichment class or traditional homeschool co-op. Our Homeschool Enrichment Program is part of an established Montessori school with more than 30 years of experience.
Children learn in prepared Montessori environments with authentic materials, experienced educators, and a small, mixed-age community. They return to the same environment, teachers, and peers each week, allowing real friendships, independence, confidence, and a sense of belonging to develop over time.
Your child isn't simply attending a class — they're becoming part of a Montessori community.
Academics & Learning
What happens on enrichment day?
Students participate in:
• A full Montessori Enrichment work cycle
• Montessori-based Specials
• Practical Life development
• Leadership & Social-Emotional Learning
Are students grouped by grade?
No. Montessori learning is individualized.
Students work in a mixed-age classroom and progress based on mastery and readiness — not grade level.
Does RMA provide curriculum?
We provide Montessori lessons and enrichment during the weekly session. Families remain responsible for their broader homeschool instruction outside of enrichment day.
Do you give grades or report cards?
No traditional grades are issued. Montessori education focuses on mastery, growth, and individualized progress.
Enrollment & Requirements
Who is eligible to enroll?
RMA Homeschool Enrichment is open to homeschool students in Kindergarten through 6th grade who are looking for a consistent Montessori enrichment experience and community.
Families remain responsible for their child's primary homeschool education, while RMA provides one full day each week of hands-on Montessori learning, enrichment, collaboration, and connection with peers.
No previous Montessori experience is required!
Is filing a Notice of Intent Required?
No. HOwever many families find it best to file a Notice of Intent to Homeschool with a Colorado county/school district of your choosing.
Does the Notice of Intent have to be in the county where we live?
No. Families may file their Notice of Intent with any Colorado county or school district of their choice.
Can my child participate in another public program at the same time?
Yes! Because RMA Homeschool Enrichment is a privately funded, tuition-based program, enrollment at RMA does not prevent your child from participating in other public homeschool enrichment or educational programs.
Families are responsible for confirming eligibility and enrollment requirements with any other program they choose to participate in.
Is attendance required?
Attendance is not mandatory in the same way it may be in a traditional school program. However, consistent attendance is strongly encouraged.
Our Montessori environment is built around relationships, routines, and community. Attending regularly helps children build friendships, become comfortable in the classroom, develop independence, and get the most from their Montessori experience.
We understand that flexibility is one of the benefits of homeschooling, and families may occasionally need to miss a day.
Tuition & Funding
How is this program funded?
RMA Homeschool Enrichment is a privately funded, tuition-based program and does not currently receive state funding.
Tuition starts at $65 per week for one enrichment day, with the per-day rate decreasing when families choose to attend additional days each week.
This tuition helps support our Montessori educators, classroom materials, enrichment experiences, and the prepared learning environment available to our homeschool students.
Are there any fees?
Your regular Montessori enrichment experience is included in tuition. Families may choose to participate in optional activities or special events that have an additional cost, such as Going Outs, Pizza Days, field trips, or other special experiences.
Any additional costs will be communicated in advance, and participation is optional.
State Reporting & Privacy
What information is reported to the state?
RMA Homeschool Enrichment is a private, tuition-based program and does not routinely report student enrollment or attendance to the state.
If RMA receives an official request to verify that a child is participating in our program rather than attending a public school, we may provide the information necessary to respond to that request.
Families remain responsible for meeting any homeschool reporting or Notice of Intent requirements that apply to them.
What if we do not want state reporting?
RMA Homeschool Enrichment does not routinely report student information or attendance to the state. Because we are a private, tuition-based enrichment program, there is no ongoing state reporting associated with participation.
If RMA receives an official request requiring us to verify a child's participation, we will respond only as required.
Families remain responsible for any homeschool filings or reporting required under Colorado law.
Community & Environment
Is the program secular?
Yes. Renaissance Montessori Alliance is a secular program and welcomes families from all backgrounds.
What values guide the program?
We are committed to:
• Diversity
• Acceptance
• Kindness
• Community
• Respect for the child
Is this program right for us?

• Homeschools and wants a consistent community for your child

• Wants opportunities for friendships and social connection
• Appreciates small, mixed-age learning environments
