Montessori Academy Of Virginia believes in the philosophy of Dr.
Maria Montessori. We believe "A child's work is to create the man he will become.".
Chesapeake Montessori Pre-School was established in 1991. It is located in the heart of Great Bridge near Chesapeake City Hall.
The school operated as a one-room Children's House (ages 3- 6 years) for 11 years.
In 2002 it was purchased by Shanna and Joe Honan.
After teaching and directing the school for one year, in 2003, Shanna added a second Children's House classroom.
In 2006, Shanna and Joe decided to change the name of the school to Chesapeake Montessori School (CMS) in order to better identify the school's new direction.
