School Notes

The Montessori School of McLean is a fully accredited school that is dedicated to the principles of the Montessori Method. As Dr. Montessori found that children learn better in multi-age groupings, all classrooms have students of mixed ages: Toddler (24-36 months); Primary (age 3-6); Lower Elementary (age 6-9); and Upper Elementary (age 9-12). MSM has two Toddler classes; five Primary classes, three Lower Elementary classes, and one Upper Elementary class. The Montessori Method is concerned with the development of the whole child, and allows children to develop at their own pace, and discover their innate love of learning.

In 1973, the Montessori School of McLean opened with one preschool and one elementary class. Since that time,one toddler and fourmore preschool classes have been added and the elementary class has been expanded to include the upper elementary level in addition to the lower elementary classes (first through sixth grade.) Cultural enrichment classes were added to the program throughout the years and now include Art, Spanish, Music, Drama, Science Lab, Technology Lab, Outdoor Classroom, and Physical Education. Our facilities have expanded to include a multi-purpose room (gymnasium, stage, gathering space), science and computer labs, a Spanish room, Music room, and expanded classroom sizes.
