Aidan Montessori School

Welcome to Aidan Montessori School!

At Aidan Montessori School, we believe that learning should be a joyful adventure! With the innovative Montessori method at the heart of our approach, we prepare children to learn with confidence, think for themselves, and succeed in whatever they choose to do.

About Us

Aidan Montessori School is a co-ed, independent private school that welcomes children from 18 months to grade 6. Since our founding in 1961, we have proudly held accreditation from the Association of Independent Maryland and DC Schools (AIMS) and are recognized by the Association Montessori International (AMI-USA). This means we follow the highest standards of Montessori education, ensuring that your child receives the best possible start in life.

Our Learning Environment

Everything at Aidan is designed around how children learn best. Here, students enjoy the perfect blend of opportunities, a nurturing environment, and a supportive community that helps them realize their full potential. We aim to nurture independent thinkers, confident learners, effective collaborators, and responsible citizens.

Why Choose Aidan?

Research shows that the Montessori curriculum is one of the most effective ways for children to learn. For over 50 years, our education has been rooted in children’s natural development, their innate curiosity, and their amazing ability to soak up the world around them.

Our classrooms are thoughtfully designed to be joyful spaces where children engage with ingeniously crafted materials for hands-on learning and self-discovery. Here, education is not just about lessons; it’s about exploration and excitement!

Learning at Aidan

• Hands-on Learning: Children dive into activities that spark their interest and creativity.
• Welcoming Lessons: Every lesson is an opportunity to explore and grow.
• Purposeful Work: Students engage in meaningful tasks that challenge them.
• Encouraged Curiosity: We celebrate questions and the desire to learn more.

Because most of the experiences at Aidan are self-directed, children gain a wonderful sense of satisfaction and confidence as they tackle new challenges—whether it’s solving a complex math problem, reading a long book, or completing a research project.

The Aidan Experience

The result? Children at Aidan love to learn! Their passion for knowledge doesn’t just stop when they leave our doors; it continues to flourish throughout their lives. Join us at Aidan Montessori School, where every day is a new adventure in learning!
