ABOUT US
MONARCH CHRISTIAN MONTESSORI
SEEDING THE FUTURE
OUR MISSION
Our mission at Monarch Christian Montessori is to reach children to build the Kingdom of God. We desire to provide children with the very best educational foundation--combining the excellence of the Montessori Method with a Christ-centered curriculum.
OUR PHILOSOPHY
Monarch Christian Montessori is based on Christian, biblical principles and beliefs. A strong foundation in the basics is blended with the “hands-on” Montessori method; the integration of a Christ-centered curriculum and the Montessori approach enables a child to grow to his/her fullest potential and become a “whole” child spiritually, intellectually, physically, emotionally, and socially.
We believe that each child is a special gift from the Lord and should be cared for with passion, love, and guidance. We emphasize Christian character development and value integrity, manners, obedience, respect for authority, and self-discipline. Our school seeks to reinforce standards set forth in the Bible.
Our philosophy and Statement of Faith shall be the guiding tools to apply biblical principles to teaching practices.

OUR HISTORY
1980
Monarch Christian Montessori (formerly Monarch Christian Academy) originated from Monarch Christian Schools Inc. in California. Mrs. Jan Pendergast, the founder of Monarch Christian Schools Inc., established Monarch Christian Schools in 1981, in various locations throughout the Bay Area.
2009
With our Heavenly Father’s grace and the prayers of our friends and supporters, Monarch Christian Academy opened its first campus in Chantilly, Virginia, in September 2009. Its philosophy and curriculum, with permission and support, originated from Monarch Christian Schools Inc.
2016
In November 2016, Monarch relocated to a new location in Chantilly, VA, and Monarch Christian Academy was renamed to Monarch Christian Montessori, to recognize the school’s unique integration of Christian education and Montessori curriculum.
2019
Monarch proudly celebrates 10 years of education. We have a wonderful staff that is dedicated to seeing the children grow to their fullest potential. We thank God for his provision for us through these years!
