Rogers Park Montessori School history

The RPMS elementary program launched in 1991 and in three years, the class grew from its initial enrollment of 7 to 18 students.

In 1994, RPMS opened a 9-12 program and a year later, with the continued growth of the elementary program, new space was leased at 1020 West Bryn Mawr in the Edgewater Presbyterian Church.
