    Frequently asked questions

    How much does a Montessori school in Silver Spring cost?

    It depends on the school, the program (toddler, primary/Casa or elementary) and full or half day. Most schools don't publish tuition; where a school in Silver Spring has, it's shown on its page and on the MontessoriCity tuition page. You can also ask schools directly when you book a free tour.

    What is the difference between AMI and AMS accreditation?

    AMI (Association Montessori Internationale) was founded by Maria Montessori and emphasizes strict adherence to her original method. AMS (American Montessori Society) is a U.S.-based organization that accepts a broader interpretation. Both are reputable; AMI tends to be more traditional.

    What age can my child start Montessori?

    Montessori programs are grouped by age: toddler (about 18 months to 3), primary or Casa (about 3 to 6) and elementary (6 to 12). Which of these a school offers varies, so check each school's page or ask when you book a tour.

    Are there public Montessori schools in Silver Spring?

    Most Montessori schools in Silver Spring are independent (private). A small number of public school boards offer Montessori-stream programs — check with your local district.
