Our Community

Students and alumni cheering for 27 years!

Our student body, ages 2-1/2 to 6 years old, is culturally, ethnically, and racially diverse. Located in the north Cleveland Park neighborhood. Auguste attracts students from a wide radius of northwest DC and Maryland neighborhoods. Founded in 1997 by our director Valerie O'Connor with a small group of parents, our vibrant community has grown to include many alumni. Many siblings and cousins attend together. Our Auguste alumni love to return regularly to work with the little ones in the classroom and participate in holiday events. We are proud of the bonds our families have forged with the school and with one another.

Mission

Auguste Montessori School respects each child as an individual and commits to developing each as a child of the world. We are dedicated to providing a nurturing and empowering environment to support the whole child: intellectual, spiritual, social, emotional, and physical. We practice an Association of Montessori Internationale (AMI) curriculum that is filled with joyful learning, opening the children to embrace the world with confidence and purpose. Furthermore, we work with the children to create a purposeful and beautiful community where reverence for wisdom, joy, connectedness, honesty, and integrity is manifest in all school activities.

Our objective

The objective of Auguste Montessori School is to provide a strong foundation and foster perseverance and belonging. 

  • Strong Foundation: A robust foundational program supports the physical, social, emotional, and cognitive growth of all students. 
  • Perseverance: Learning happens best when children have the confidence to make mistakes and gain strategies to work through challenges. 
  • Belonging: We appreciate uniqueness of each student and welcome them with joy into a safe, inclusive environment. 

Our Goal

Every human is a work in progress. We continually seek progress toward these goals for all children:

Nurturing the Individual

  • Development of each child according to individual needs and potentials.
  • The attainment of self-discipline.
  • The growth of independence and initiative.
  • The development of skills through the child's own effort and interest.

Intellectual

  • A love of work and joy in learning.
  • Spontaneous creativity.
  • Teaching-learning situations are stimulated by the child teaching the child and guided by the teacher's observation of the individual needs of the children.
  • The absorption of impressions and concepts leads to the ability to abstract.

Social

  • The training of the child in those fundamental social qualities of good citizenship.
  • The development of positive self-concepts and social relations, mutual aid, and sharing.

Physical

  • The development of movement and muscular control.

Spiritual

  • The development of ethical behavior is based on moral and spiritual values.
  • An understanding of the environment and a sense of the contribution of all living things to each other, especially humankind's contributions through the ages.

Faculty

Auguste is our director's passion and calling. Director Valerie O'Connor brings the children an intellectual curiosity in both humanities and the sciences and brings to her staff team management experience.

 

All of our teachers and assistants have Montessori training and continue to augment our program with summer training and professional development. We encourage professional development not only in child development and learning but also art, nutrition, and other curricula that help us support the whole child. We are committed to working as a team that builds on our staff's many and varied talents.
