Mountainside provides Montessori education for children from Fauquier, Prince William, Culpeper, and Loudoun counties.
In 2010, our mission expanded to include sustainable agriculture, environmental stewardship, and free play in nature.
In 2015, we opened a new 10-acre campus on Belvoir Road in Marshall, VA, which allows us to serve children from birth through ninth grade, as well as offer programs to the community at large.
