The Best Beginning...Children are eager, spontaneous learners curious about the world around them. And you, the parent, are your child's first teacher. At your knee your child spoke his or her first word, took the first step, heard the first story. The Montessori School is an extension of the education you have begun at home. We at Montessori view education as an aid to life, as a process. Our role is to preserve and nurture your child's natural curiosity and to develop an openness to the limitless possibilities of life. We believe that children learn best when they are actively involved in the learning process. Children not only learn, but thrive in an environment that is specially prepared to meet their physical, cognitive and social needs, and satisfy their instrinsic interests. Our curriculum offers children freedom of choice in a dynamic, energized classroom where learning is tangible. The Montessori School, established by the Montessori Society of Central Maryland, Inc., was founded in 1962 by a small group of parents dedicated to providing a Montessori education for their children. Nearly 7,000 students have attended Montessori since its inception and graduates are represented at all private schools as well as a large number of public schools in the Baltimore metropolitan area. The school is accredited by the American Montessori Society and Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools. Current Events and AnnouncementsFirst Day of School Photos!
