Aidan Montessori School Opportunity

Are you ready to change the world? At Aidan Montessori School, we believe that changing the world for the better begins in the classroom.

By educating children into adults who can overcome obstacles, communicate persuasively, lead with vision, adapt with agility, and care for their community, we can create a more open, innovative, and just society.

As Washington D.C.'s oldest Montessori school and one of the oldest in the nation, Aidan is both a home for families seeking a child-focused education and a leader in the broader Montessori movement.

Here, students ages 18 months through grade 6 realize their potential through an educational approach based on children's natural development and innate curiosity. Aidan students grow into:

• Curious thinkers, empowered to wonder, to question, and to follow their inspiration as it strikes
• Creative explorers who experience the world with a "let's go find out" mentality
• Compassionate problem-solvers who are driven to seek solutions for their community

Aidan's Mission:

Aidan's mission is to help children realize their full potential and become independent, self-motivated, and personally and socially responsible citizens of the world. We do this by following the principles of Montessori education and cultivating a community centered on curiosity, respect, humanity, and peace. We embrace diversity and strive to maintain an inclusive, equitable environment where every individual feels a genuine sense of belonging.

Aidan is committed to offering high-quality, authentic Montessori education. All of our lead teachers have earned diplomas from the Association Montessori Internationale (AMI). Senior leadership team members have extensive classroom experience and AMI training across multiple levels. Our Head of School, Jamie Rue, is an AMI trainer. This depth of Montessori expertise helps guide our work and supports our commitment to authentic Montessori education. Aidan is an environment where teachers are supported and encouraged to provide high-quality Montessori education by following their AMI training!
