Williamsburg Montessori School Admission

The Williamsburg Montessori School community is made up of students, teachers, parents, and grandparents—a vital partnership that plays a major role in your child’s success in a Montessori education.

The typical Montessori education extends well beyond the basics of literacy and numeracy into the social and spiritual aspects of life. Children thrive when home and school work in harmony–when both environments share the same educational values and expectations. Regular communication and classroom observation are vital.

I have worked in private and public school classrooms as a teacher for almost 17 years, and observing a Montessori classroom for the first time literally brought me to tears. The sense of purpose, self-direction, curiosity and clear, focused attention was palpable. Children were engaged in learning for learning’s sake. There was no sense of despair, heads in hands or dazed expressions. The materials were neatly laid out, there was a sense of order and calm, and everyone was fully on task.
