Our Dedicated Faculty and Staff

At the Montessori Academy of Virginia, a deep and enduring commitment to authentic Montessori philosophy drives every aspect of our work. Our state-licensed Academy is led by well-trained educators who bring Montessori philosophy as well as strong expertise in early childhood development to their practice.

We are proud of our exceptional faculty—carefully selected from respected educational programs and united by a shared dedication to Montessori. Our teachers represent a diverse, multicultural community of professionals who serve not only as educators, but as thoughtful mentors, guiding each child’s intellectual, social, and emotional growth.

Our faculty upholds high academic standards while cultivating meaningful partnerships with families. Together, we create learning environments that are warm, aesthetically beautiful, and socially supportive atmosphere, where students feel valued, confident, and inspired to explore.

In our younger classrooms, a trained Montessori teacher works alongside an assistant teacher, ensuring consistency, attentiveness, and individualized care throughout the day.

We invite families to join us in a true partnership; one rooted in trust, shared purpose, and a commitment to building a connected community around each child’s educational journey.
