All children attending the elementary program must be tested by a professional testing service recommended by the school. These tests help us to pinpoint a child's strengths, academic skills, learning style, and the child's individual method of processing information as well as IQ level. All of the above helps us plan an ability based curriculum for individual students. Depending on availability, children age 24 - 30 months attend with a parent or adult care giver 1 to 3 days per week. Summer session is available for students who wish to attend year 'round school.
Students receive reinforcement of current skills, but the emphasis is on enrichment activities.
Drama, computers, gardening, science and water days are popular summer activities. We are an American Montessori Society affiliate. Montessori school of Leesburg opened in January 1997 to accommodate the needs of all of the families that were commuting to our Herndon location from the Leesburg area. Our Herndon school has been providing ability based instruction since 1984. We enjoy a reputation for excellence in education.
