The Montessori School of McLean (MSM) is a dedicated Montessori
school that has been educating children since 1973. Our curriculum
is based on the teachings of Dr. Maria Montessori, who believed that
each child should be given the chance to be an independent, secure
and balanced human being. The foundation of the Montessori approach
is that education should be an aid to life and that children must
have freedom to develop their physical, intellectual and spiritual
powers to the fullest. However, this educational freedom must be
achieved through order and self-discipline.
