Celebrating our 48th anniversary!
Peace Through Education
The Montessori School of Charlottesville is a nurturing environment for children ages 21 months through kindergarten, where the curriculum is based on the philosophy of Dr. Maria Montessori
About Us
Our mission is to follow the philosophy and practice of Dr. Maria Montessori, fostering personal independence and social responsibility in each individual. Our peaceful community thrives with the cooperation of children, staff and families as we work to make a positive difference in the world we share.
The Classroom
The School's purpose is to facilitate the full development of each child enrolled while helping each child to find his place as a contributing member of the group. We believe that such development can occur only through mature and caring modeling by carefully selected teachers who create a loving environment. The teachers encourage the children to participate in maintaining their indoor and outdoor School environments.
