Lee Montessori was founded in 2014 to foster a lifetime love of learning and cultivate independence among DC school children, using the student-centered Montessori Method, an evidence-based approach to closing the opportunity gap.
Lee Montessori Public Charter School implements a highly structured, child-centered approach to education. Students receive individualized or small-group academic lessons in multi-age classrooms taught by highly trained instructors. At our school, children are encouraged to work independently with hands-on manipulative materials that help them to make discoveries in mathematics, language, science, geography, geometry, art, and music.
Our vision is to create a peaceful, multi-age learning environment for public preschool- and elementary-aged children that fosters the physical, social, emotional, and academic growth of students that will be committed to lifelong learners.
The mission of Lee Montessori Public Charter School is to foster a lifetime love of learning and cultivate independence among DC school children, using the student-centered Montessori Method, an evidence-based approach to closing the opportunity gap. We provide a high-quality, high-fidelity Montessori experience for a racially and socioeconomically diverse community with the goal of empowering each child we serve to transform society.
