What parents say about us

Our family has received incredible value from MAV. We’ve been with the school for 7 years and are amazed at how much our children have learned and grown under MAV’s care. The teachers and staff all care about the kids in a way that isn’t institutional. I highly recommend MAV for those looking to let their children safely explore life.

Montessori Academy of Virginia Suffolk campus has been a excellent learning environment for my 6 year old daughter! She has attended the school for three years and has learned so many academic and life lessons. Ms. Yoko has been a wonderful and responsive teacher.

Dr. Dowling
Our family loves MAV! We enrolled our child for his first full school year and the experience has been amazing. He loved his teacher and made many friends in his class. He has also improved on his Montessori skills and independence. All of the staff are friendly and very communicative with the students and parents. We definitely recommend MAV to our friends and family!
