OUR "SMALL TOWN" COMMUNITY

The children at Arlington Montessori House (AMH) spend their days in three charming houses designed to provide a nurturing environment that supports their innate curiosity, growing independence and instinctive social connections.  Our small community encourages deep relationships between school and family as partners working together for the benefit of our children.  Children attend AMH for four or five years, culminating in their Kindergarten year, allowing for the full benefit of our Montessori education.  

Amidst the hustle and bustle of Arlington, you will find a calm sanctuary for exploration.   Both of our primary classrooms serve up to 28 students of mixed ages. Our toddler classroom serves up to 15 students. All our classrooms are led by AMI certified teachers.  The houses share a common driveway, a spacious playground and small garden beds which compliment our safe and inviting classrooms.  Join us at AMH and build lasting relationships as your child experiences the gift of Montessori.

OUR MISSION

We are a community committed to helping each of our children and families realize the full benefit of a complete Montessori experience that meets the needs of the whole child.  We recognize that a partnership between home and school is a critical part of the successful development of children.

OUR VALUES

We are a practicing community in which everyone is respected, valued, engaged and challenged.
