NRGLC offers nature-based, student-driven, academically rigorous programs with an equal emphasis on critical thinking and emotional intelligence. Our carefully prepared environment, with specially trained teachers using Montessori principles and other innovative educational practices, empowers students to be independent thinkers, creators, entrepreneurs, and learners for life.

The kindness and respect the teachers have for their students, the learning method and tools, and the dedication of everyone involved are just a few examples of what so strongly draws us to this school. Because of NRGLC we spend more time in WV then we probably would otherwise. |
My daughter has attended this school since the age of three, and I couldn't imagine a better academic or social environment. Her standardized test scores reflect the academics, and her respectful behavior and excitement about school reflect the school's loving, community-oriented approach. I'm thrilled that such an opportunity exists in such a small town...This school is truly a gem. |
“Enrolling our child at the NRGLC has proven to be a great decision for our family...Having little knowledge and experience with the Montessori approach to teaching going into it we have certainly been impressed so far. |
