RHMC is located in a one-hectare hill owned by businessmen Gil and Von Rosales Montilla. In 2006, an opportunity for putting up a school came when a friend introduced to the Montillas a husband-and-wife team, Hansel and Jeanne de Barras, experienced Montessori educators. RHMC started its operation in 2007 offering pre-school to Grade 4 and Grade 7. Over the years, the school expanded to offering pre-school to Grade 10. Five years later, the institution grew into one of the most sought-after schools in Danao City and its nearby towns. In 2011, the academy had legitimately been renamed from Rosemont Hills Montessori Academy to Rosemont Hills Montessori College adding three (3) programs in college namely Information Technology, Office Administration, and Elementary Education specializing in Early Childhood Education. In 2016, RHMC added Senior High School offering General Academic Strand (GAS), Accountancy, Business and, Management (ABM), Information and Communications Technology (ICT) specializing in Illustration and Contact Center Services, Home Economics (HE) specializing in Cookery, Front Office and Travel Services. In 2019, new strands were added to the SHS program namely, Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) and Humanities and Social Sciences (HUMSS).
Its pre-school program and lower education programs are accredited by Montessori Institute of America. It is also one of the few schools in the northern part of Cebu to be recognized by Bureau of Immigration. All Basic Education levels have been recognized by Department of Education while all college programs of RHMC have been recognized by Commission on Higher Education.
