At the Montessori School of South Riding there is a special blending of freedom and responsibility, choice and structure, creativity and discipline, individual interest and group co-operation.

WHY AMI MONTESSORI?
While the name "Montessori" may be used by any school, the educational standards, teacher training and materials may vary widely. Dr. Maria Montessori began Association Montessori Internationale (AMI) to insure high standards in Montessori schools.
Teachers at MSSR are professionals, with college degrees as well as Association Montessori Internationale (AMI) training. Teacher training is rigorous with standards set according to Dr. Montessori's design.
The Montessori School of South Riding is one of thirteen schools in the state of Virginia accredited by the Association Montessori Internationale (AMI) and is licensed by the Virginia Department of Social Services.
