I enrolled my daughter at Albemarle Montessori just a month after it opened in August of 2014. We have had the privilege to watch it grow from just 5 students to now over 50 students, 3 classrooms, and an elementary school expansion that just opened in August of 2018! My daughter was 2 years old when she started and just graduated their Kindergarten program last spring. She is both reading and writing in cursive & print, doing addition, subtraction, and multiplication, can count to 10,000 and has an extensive grasp on geography and practical life fundamentals. I have worked in education for over 15 years (in both public & private schools) and I have never seen such a captivating and inspiring classroom environment as I have here at Albemarle Montessori! She experienced the honor of learning under Kelly Harding, who is an AMI Certified Lead Montessori Guide with over 30 years of experience and we could not be happier with her education and development. She she is currently enrolled in the elementary program and is loving it! We plan to stay all the way until 6th grade (which is as high as they go) unless they expand to add a middle & high school program. There is no comparison, THIS is by far the BEST school in Charlottesville that anyone could hope for their child's education & development. Thank you AMCC for being not just an institution of learning, but a Community that we think of as family, and a heartfelt place we call "home."
