Washington Montessori cultivates individuality and freedom of expression throughout the curriculum, emphasizing independent learning and creativity. My daughter is 9 and thrives in the multi-age classrooms; she truly loves helping her peers (and learning from them as well). Nature and mindfulness are integral to this community. The parents and teachers work together - I really can’t say enough positive things about being part in a community of likeminded parents and having the continual support of the teachers. Everything is tailored and every student is seen as an individual learner. This is not a one-size-fits-all school. I think it is important to mention that WMS has given us so much in the way of distance learning- the work is engaging, there is a vast amount of work to choose from, and, if your child is moving ahead you can use materials from grades above (or below to get refresh certain skills). It is very flexible (I work full time) and can be adapted for any type of learner. I am a WMS Alum (the 80’s) and have been a WMS parent for 4 years, I volunteer heavily to support the school and love doing it. WMS is an exceptional place to grow and learn, for children and parents alike.
