Questions, answered plainly at Montessori School of Fairfax

Eight starting questions

Ask these before you apply.

Answers that depend on current operations are labeled for confirmation rather than presented as settled fact.

Is Montessori unstructured?

No. Structure lives in the prepared environment, lesson sequence, clear limits, work records, and the guide’s observation. Children make meaningful choices inside that structure.

What ages does MSOFx serve?

The reported path begins at 18 months and continues through age 12 across Toddler, Early Childhood, Kindergarten, and Elementary programs.

Does a toddler need to be toilet trained?

The school’s existing program information presents toilet learning as part of the toddler years, not an enrollment prerequisite. Confirm current classroom practice during your visit.

How long is the morning work cycle?

Montessori schools typically protect an extended morning work period. The exact duration and schedule by MSOFx program require school confirmation.

What does mixed age mean?

Children spend multiple years in one developmental community. Younger children see advanced work, while older children consolidate skills through leadership and responsibility.

How do I schedule a tour?

The reported standard cadence is Wednesday at 9:30 a.m. This concept accepts a visit request and does not claim to reserve a live time slot.

Is tuition published?

Exact current tuition and fees are not yet confirmed for this concept. The final site is designed to publish a dated, complete tuition table.

What are the school-day hours?

Existing public information reports before-care beginning at 7:30 a.m. and after-care continuing until 6:00 p.m. Confirm current schedules before enrollment.
