The Montessori School of South Riding (MSSR) is a Primary School for children 3 to 6 years old. Founded in 2003 by Carmen Arenas, MSSR operates within the educational philosophy developed by Dr. Maria Montessori, who recognized and respected the natural interests and sensitive periods of learning present in children.
MSSR, using the principles of Montessori education, provides a warm, enriched environment designed to stimulate the child’s natural desire to learn. MSSR offers a unique program in which skilled professionals, sensitive and responsive to the learning patterns and needs of each child, help the child to grow in confidence, independence and knowledge. At the Montessori School of South Riding there is a special blending of freedom and responsibility, choice and structure, creativity and discipline, individual interest and group co-operation.
