A new Primary classroom on Capitol Hill, led by an AMI-trained guide . Opening August 2026.
Twelve seats in our inaugural class. Designed for families who want their child to grow inside an authentic, three-year Primary cycle without switching schools.
If your child has been in Montessori, this is the bridge.
For families arriving from abroad or out of state.
World Bank · IMF · State Department · Military · International Diplomatic — we know the timing pressure of a federal or international transfer. Virtual tours, video walkthroughs, and document support are part of how we welcome you.
From Starling parents.
“Our family has had a wonderful experience at Starling Montessori School during these past few months.”
“When we found Starling Montessori and took a tour, we knew immediately that it was a special place.”
Four steps. About four months.
Saint Mark Episcopal Church.
A new classroom in the heart of Capitol Hill, designed for children ages 3 to 6 — stone walls, soft carpet, bright lighting, and a calm, prepared environment. A kitchenette, a separate nap room, and a children's bathroom. Garden access for picnics, with outdoor play at our Toddler Community's playground or a nearby Capitol Hill park. Decorated with diverse art and plants, the space is made to feel comforting and welcoming.
Photos shown are from our existing Toddler classroom — they reflect the kind of work and atmosphere your child will experience. Final Primary classroom photos at Saint Mark coming as the build-out completes — Summer 2026.
