Changing the world, one student at a time
We are a school where children find the joy in learning — and thus make it possible for them to continue learning for the rest of their lives.
To think mathematically.
To solve problems.
To create things.
To encounter great literature that inspires their character development.
To build themselves as capable, efficacious beings.
To place themselves in history and in society.
To spark meaningful friendships and deep personal values that last a lifetime.
Our goal at Guidepost Montessori is to serve each individual child, to help them realize their limitless potential, and the opportunities they will have to create real and lasting change throughout their lifetime.
Hear from our Ashburn Village Families
I toured a lot of places looking for daycare for my baby. As soon as I walked in the guidepost center I could see the difference. The teachers actually care for my kid, everyone knows her name and are so so kind. My kid is so happy every day and it gives me peace to drop my daughter off and know that she will be in great hands and have the opportunity to learn and grow at her pace.
"Guidepost is a second home for my family!"
Guidepost Montessori at Ashburn Village is a second home for my family! The administration is so kind and thoughtful. They plan fun events for our community to grow closer together and get to know each other. Each day, they make time to talk to the parents. My daughter is apart of the Nido (infant) classroom and loves it!! She has created such beautiful bonds with the staff and children at this school. There is no doubt in my mind that she is exceptionally taken care of and that her overall development is being nurtured. I highly recommend this school to anyone seeking to build a sense of belonging, independence and a passion for learning within their children.
"Great teachers, great program that makes parents feel at ease"
I have so many good things to say about this school.
My son just turned 28month and we found this certificated Montessori school in our neighborhood. It is brand new, clean with very clam environment. Teachers are super caring, loving and patient, my son loved it the first day he went there and keeps wanting to go back. He got attached to his teacher right away. He is more interactive, speaks more words and more independent. I got photos and comments daily and school tracks his learning progress in details. Great teachers, great program make parents feel at ease.
