Welcome to The Beddow School, where we invite children to embark on a journey of lifelong learning and discovery. Nestled in the heart of Fort Washington, MD, just behind National Harbor, the private Montessori school is dedicated to nurturing academic, social, and emotional growth in every child. If you're seeking an educational environment where your child's unique learning style and natural curiosity are celebrated, you've come to the right place.






At the Beddow School, they embrace the authentic Montessori Method, which emphasizes hands-on, sensory-based, and self-directed learning. In the primary programs, children aged 3 to 6 are welcomed into warm, inviting classrooms designed to meet their individual needs. From practical life and sensorial activities to mathematics, language, and cultural lessons, the curriculum is rich with opportunities for exploration and growth. Whether your child joins for half-day or full-day sessions, they'll benefit from a supportive environment that encourages curiosity, imagination, and rapid vocabulary development.






Moving beyond the primary years, the Elementary Program guides students through an innovative educational experience that builds upon their Montessori foundation. With a focus on independent thinking, creative problem-solving, and academic excellence, the instructors inspire students to reach their full potential and excel in all areas of learning. The Beddow School welcomes children from 2½ years of age through age 12. The primary programs offer both half-day and full-day options, with classes running from Monday to Friday. Half-day sessions are available from 8:30 AM to 12:00 PM, while full-day sessions extend until 3:00 PM.
