Our School

Our School

We are a family-oriented Montessori school located on Main Street in Fairfax, VA. The school occupies five classrooms and has a playground, garden and nature areas adjacent to the building. We strive to provide beautiful environments, a challenging program and a supportive school community to serve children from three to twelve years of age.

Since its founding in 1981, the Montessori School of Oakton has offered a unique program in which skilled professionals, sensitive and responsive to the learning patterns and needs of each child, help the child to grow in confidence, independence and knowledge. At MSO there is a special blending of freedom and responsibility, choice and structure, creativity and discipline, individual interest and group cooperation.

Today the Montessori School of Oakton has an enrollment of about 100 students, ranging from age three through the sixth grade. We have three Primary Classes (3 – 6+) and one Elementary Class (6 – 12). We serve a diverse population of students and families.



MSO is a non-profit, non-sectarian school, which admits all children regardless of race, creed, color or origin.
