Crossway Community Montessori

The qualifications and experience of the school's admin and faculty are very good and staff turn-over is low. As well as the standard AMI curriculum, the school offers dance and music (at no charge). There used to be a French immersion program which may be revived. Our son's directress has been doing a good job keeping him sufficiently challenged and engaged. The student body is diverse and international. Crossway is large (3 primary classes, plus infant and toddler classes) and has a dress code. School entryways are kept locked at all times and parental communications must be submitted via the correct form. Some of this may be due to MD requirements, but some is definitely just the Crossway style. The school program models a high quality, sustainable lifestyle. The children have a hot, sit-down lunch with flowers on the table and proper tableware. They cook and bake and grow some of their own vegetables and fruits. There is a lot of green space around the school, a large playground, and two big gardens on-site. The children are outside several hours every day. Crossway has applied to become a K-5 charter school in the Montgomery County Public school system.

This school is nothing but great. The teacher and staff are the friendlies ever, and the kids are learning both academics and social behavior. We have two sons there currently and they love it. Our oldest have mild form of sensory processing and we have seen a great improvement in his everyday coping ever since he started at Crossway. Crossway is also having a great program for women and their kids which it feels great being a part off as a parent. l truly wish this school would offer grades past K in the future.

Wonderful program! Children are able to explore and learn at their own pace.
