Montessori Schoolof Fairfax · Chantilly, VA

Twenty-nine years of families.

The clearest picture of a school comes from the families who have lived it. Here is what ours say, in their own words.

In their own words

Reviews written in year three, not week three.

Preschool reviews tend to arrive in the first month, when everything is new and everyone is relieved. The ones worth weighing come later, from families who stayed through a full three-year cycle, watched the kindergarten year pay off, or drove past closer schools every morning and never regretted it.

The teachers have years of Montessori experience and work tirelessly to ensure each child reaches their full potential. The director / owner of the school ensures that the children have a clean, safe, and academically challenging environment. One can see that this school is "her life."

This school has done wonders for my kids. I am so grateful to the dedicated teachers who have instilled the love of learning in my children. This school truly encompasses what it means to be a Montessorian.
Merehan, parent
I am so glad I found this wonderful place for my child. The teachers are so full of patience and passion to always help the children. The elementary section is also excellent with varied activities like music, art, PE and the school has Spanish teacher starting from toddler class.

Video stories

Some things are better said on camera.

Words on a page can only carry so much. We are sitting down with three families this fall to record the conversations parents usually have in the parking lot.

Add your voice.

If your family is part of this school, a few honest sentences help the next nervous parent more than anything we could write about ourselves. Leave a Google review and say what you would tell a friend at pickup.

And if you are still deciding, reviews can open the door, but a visit settles it. Read what 29 years in Chantilly builds, then schedule a visit and watch a morning happen for yourself.

See it for yourself.

Guided tours run every Wednesday at 9:30 a.m., and your child is welcome to come along. Watch a real morning happen, then decide.
