Village Montessori School at Bluemont is dedicated to a deep respect for the individuality of each young child’s development. ABOUT US: The curriculum of an authentic Montessori School follows the principles and guidelines established by Maria Montessori. Science and time has proven that Dr. Montessori's observations of how children learn and what is needed to provide an optimal learning environment for children in their formative years was and is correct. The peace, order, harmony, independence and joy expressed and felt in our classrooms is something that must be experienced to understand. That is why we invite perspective parents to sit in on our classrooms and see for themselves what a community of Montessori children can BE. They are amazing. Montessori is not about learning faster or being academically advanced (although those things do happen). It is about preparing a child for life. Real life.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about this school. Our oldest started in the toddler program years ago. Since then we have kept him on through the elementary program and have two more daughters also at the school. The teachers treat each child with such respect and really allow each child to become who they are meant to become. They allow them to follow their curiosity into what they would like to focus on next, while making sure they are... more

Our daughters who are 9 and 11 have been in this since they were 2. I knew I’d made the right decision when we drove past the school one summer and the girls were upset that they weren’t going to school that day. I’ve watched my children become become caring and smart as well as conscious of others. They’ve learned a sense of community and enjoy helping. This school has been an amazing part of our lives. It’s given our children such a wonderful... more

We love this little school set in the lovely town of Bluemont. We stumbled across the school while attending the Bluemont Fair and haven't looked back. Our 4 daughters (ages 3-8) are thriving and loving every minute of their "work" at VMS. The school sets an example for the Montessori Method in how true they are to Dr. Montessori's teachings. The focus is on the whole child with all the support and direction for each child to become the adult... more

Making the decision about where to educate our precious children is one of the most profoundly important parts of being a parent. Our goal was to have our daughter in a place where she would love being just as much as she does our home, and where she would develop academically and emotionally without the stress of repeated assessments. Our desires for her have been met and have been exceeded in ways we never dreamed they would. To explain the... more

My girls have been attending the Village Montessori School at Bluemont since they were in pre-K; my oldest is about to start 5th grade. This school, tucked into picturesque Bluemont, VA, has nurtured them, and their classmates, as they matured and acquired academic skills but more importantly the school has given them the environment and the language and the habits to become thoughtful, peaceful, and forgiving people. The school is premised on... more
