Middleburg Montessori School

Middleburg Montessori School is a 501 (c)(3) non-profit, Association Montessori International (AMI) recognized, and VAIS Accredited Montessori School serving children birth through 15 years in Fauquier, Loudoun, Frederick, and Clarke Counties for over 40 years. Dr. Maria Montessori  observed that a child absorbs from the environment they are in, and using specially designed materials she was able to call to the child's inner desire to learn. An AMI trained adult presents these materials to individual children or in small groups. The independent work that follows a presentation encourages individual hands-on participation in the Primary, peer problem-solving dialogue in the Elementary, and deeper exploration and discovery in the Adolescent age groups. Control of error is built into manipulative materials and charts, encouraging self-confidence and independence. The child is allowed the freedom to be independent within the highly sequenced structure of the Montessori approach and environment.
