90% of Crossway Montessori Programs’ graduating children are performing at or above grade level.
Crossway Montessori Programs (CMP) is an independent, coeducational program for children from ages three months to six years.
The curriculum and philosophy of CMP is derived from the century-old principles of Dr. Maria Montessori to create environment that is responsive to each child's unique developmental needs, abilities, and interests. Our "whole-child approach" fosters respect for oneself, for others, and for the environment. Our ultimate goal is that through mixed-age groupings, integrated curriculum, peace education, uninterrupted work periods, hands-on materials, art exploration, and freedom within limits all children will develop their full potential.
Building community and family is at the heart of Crossway Community's approach to learning. Our programs promote learning, creativity, and community for each child in the context of his or her family--a child’s first community. Parents are integrated into their child's development in the school. Faculty use individual observation to create a learning plan for each child and communicate regularly with parents about their child's progress. Families are invited to participate in Crossway's extended services and events, including nutrition and child development workshops.
Recognized by Washington Parent magazine as one of the Washington region's most "outstanding" Montessori programs, CMP boasts a multicultural student body and faculty, a beautiful 14-acre campus, and a history of excellence in education and parental support in a year-round setting.
Crossway Montessori Programs welcomes inquiries about its educational philosophy and opportunities, including summer programs and vacation camps. For more information, or to schedule a tour of the campus, contact the admissions office by calling 301-929-2505, or fill out an Open House Inquiry.
