Schedule an Info Session

Our mission is to prepare children for life.


We celebrate each child’s individuality and help them discover how they can best contribute to our world and culture. All children are naturally curious and love to learn; we support this innate drive by providing environments that meet children’s developmental needs, by having a staff of loving and well-prepared adults, and by building a community of families that actively support our mission.

Why Oakton Montessori School?

We Meet Children Where They Are

We allow each child to move and learn at their own pace. We know that learning is not linear.

We Emphasize More than Just Academics

We focus on curiosity, independence, compassion, collaboration, and critical thinking.

...but the Academics are a Huge Strength

Our curriculum presents skills at the time when children are most ready to learn.

We're a Community


We view our relationship with you as a partnership, working together for the benefit of your child.

Programs

“MSO has made such a positive impact in my children’s lives, setting them on a course for independent learning and curiosity that will guide them for life. It has also made a positive impact on our family overall providing a space where we have made lifelong friends.”

Diana Rothe-Smith

“The solid Montessori program is what brought us to the school initially, but it is the heart of MSO which has kept us here."

An MSO Parent

“I have three grandchildren attending The Montessori School of Oakton. They love it and they love learning!" 

A Montessori Grandparent

“We would like to thank you for giving our two girls a great foundation. We were happy to be a part of the MSO family for three years."
