A fantastic school and program. Chantilly Montessori was actually Nationally recognized as a "School of the Future" when it was built in the late 1950's. People came from all over the country to see it. The building is unique - it's set on an axis (diagonal) which allows the classrooms to be offset to each other opening up giant windows in each classroom. The classrooms are oversized with high ceilings, built-in stages and a mix of work areas. The grounds are also nice - various gardens and nooks abound. The faculty are very committed and engaged. There has been some staff turnover, but existing staff are very high quality. Students take Spanish, Music, Art, Media and other electives - programs that are often cut at public elementary schools. The school recently installed a state-of-the-art security system with cameras and locked front doors during school hours. The Student/Teacher ratio is low and the school regularly tests in the top 10% for elementary schools in North Carolina. Close Quote
