What We Do

RMMS was established in 1992 to offer the diverse student population of our region an innovative program demonstrating best educational practices within a multicultural curriculum. In March 2019, RMMS became an authorized IB World School with a Primary Years Program. IB is an international non-profit with almost 6000 educational programs that are globally recognized as challenging, engaging, and relevant. Inquiry is a key instructional approach at IB schools, so students research topics and issues of local and global significance. Being part of the IB provides additional structure and extends the RMMS curriculum.

While providing a strong academic structure, IB schools also address the social, emotional, and physical needs of children which has always been a priority at RMMS as well. Our students discuss and develop ten qualities found in highly effective people: caring, inquirer, thinker, principled, open-minded, balanced, communicator, knowledgeable, risk-takers, and reflective. 

Philosophy and Agreement of Literacy Learning

The Regional Multicultural Magnet School recognizes every child's right to grow up literate in a learning community that values the richness of linguistic, ethnic, and cultural diversity. We foster an environment of student choice and inquiry to promote a joy for literacy that builds lifelong learners. Students demonstrate caring and empathy as they support each other through literacy learning. Through dynamic instruction, students take responsibility for becoming powerful agents of their reading, writing, speaking, and thinking. We believe that when students achieve a high level of literacy they investigate and challenge ideas that fuel intellectual curiosity. Students use the power of their literacy skills to create meaningful changes for themselves and others in the world.
