Principal Amber Simpson

“I am excited to lead the Pleasant Ridge Montessori School community of amazing students, staff and parents as we continue to build on our strengths and break barriers as a premier public urban neighborhood school noted for its diverse and peaceful environment, community involvement, and outstanding student outcomes.”

“My foundational and professional knowledge of the Montessori method and commitment to educating the whole child makes this a perfect match. I look forward to collaborating and partnering with all stakeholders to move our school forward as we honor our school vision and mission.” ~ Amber Simpson
