School Overview
Overview
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.
Wakefield School is an independent, college-preparatory day school for students in Junior Kindergarten through grade 12 engaging in a rigorous and inspiring liberal arts curriculum.
Our ambitious vision for every student is to foster capable, ethical, articulate citizens who seek the challenge, make a difference, and live an extraordinary life, each in his or her own way.
