Montessori Academy of Virginia – Chesapeake Campus

Most schools allude to ‘teaching to the whole child’, MAV believes rather than solely focusing on academics alone, academics share equal emphasis with our efforts to develop other aspects of the child including emotional, social, sensory development, and life skills.​

Our teachers understand that learning is not linear; children are not ready to learn specific skills according to an adult-prepared timeline, or in perfect harmony with their peers. Children who need more support with certain skills get the assistance they require and practice until comprehension, and those who are ready to move ahead are able to acquire the challenges they crave.
