The Bethesda Montessori School

The Bethesda Montessori School, established in 1983, cooperates with the Washington Montessori Institute and is staffed by AMI (Association Montessori Internationale) trained teachers. It is fully approved by the Maryland State Department of Education, and Montessori Schools of Maryland, and is a member of the NAMTA and other educational organizations. It is centrally located in the heart of the Bethesda, and serves 3-6 year olds, from 8am to 6pm M – F. A traditional Montessori school, it adheres to the teachings and principles of Dr. Maria Montessori. The school is fully equipped with the Montessori materials as well as many handmade items to stimulate the child’s mind and creativity. Music, Art and French instruction are integral parts of the Montessori program. Our rooms are bright and cheerful. The staff is dedicated and caring. It is the hope of the school that each student will grow in knowledge, self-reliance, confidence and social graces.
