Mountainside Montessori

Wonderful elementary school. Great teachers and great administrators. We love how dedicated the teachers and staff are and also how the school works to support all speeds and types of learners with group rotations within each grade level. We’ve had three children here that have definitely benefited from this approach.

Wakefield has been an exceptional experience for our family. With a supportive community and outstanding academics, it’s a hidden gem in Northern Virginia. The personalized attention sets Wakefield apart—small class sizes and passionate teachers create an environment where students are known and supported. My child has thrived academically and grown in confidence, thanks to teachers who recognize his strengths and guide him through challenges. The liberal arts curriculum, combined with STEAM and outdoor learning, offers a well-rounded education that keeps him excited to learn.Wakefield fosters a strong sense of community through fun events, traditions, and ways to get involved, creating a warm atmosphere that brings families together. The culture of kindness, respect, and inclusion is reflected in my child’s interactions with peers.For a school that blends academic excellence, character development, and community, Wakefield is an outstanding choice. We are grateful to be part of this incredible school!
