Montessori School

“A child’s work”, wrote Maria Montessori is to create the man he will become. An adult works to perfect his environment, but a child works to perfect himself. So Dr. Montessori developed an education that would aid the child in his work. The philosophy and educational foundation of Dulles Montessori School follow the teaching, research and materials of Dr Maria Montessori.
 

MISSION:

Children are our main focus and we seek the best for every child.

  • To provide a carefully planned, child centered, peaceful environment which emphasizes the social, emotional, cognitive and physical development of the child.
  • To provide a strong academic foundation in education, employing the philosophy, method and materials developed by Dr. Maria Montessori.
  • To cultivate the child’s natural desire to learn and develop at his own speed, his capabilities in a non-competitive atmosphere and thus develop a favorable attitude towards learning
  • To accept and respect each child in our care and based on careful observation, use individualized teaching styles to enhance their developmental pattern of learning.
  • To foster independence, creativity, self-discipline, self-direction, self confidence and respect for oneself and others.
  • To provide a nurturing environment and care for the development of the whole child in preparation for school and a future of lifelong learning. Children are encouraged to develop good work habits and share in the responsibility of their learning.

We acknowledge and celebrate the rich and diverse heritage and tradition of different cultures. We welcome parents to share their cultural diversity with our Montessori community.
