History
Our school was started by a Capitol Hill parent in 2003. We started out with two classrooms and a wonderful parent community. Today, we have three classrooms in our Washington DC location and a stunning location in Old Towne, Alexandria, VA. Our school was modeled after an AMI school, but we've had teachers from AMI, AMS and NAMC certification programs, including teachers from all over the world. We are actively involved in charitable causes and fully support 8 children and their families in West Africa in addition to sending our own teachers to Ghana to work in a school for the disabled. We are opening a new location in Nashville, TN in 2018.

We work with families to create a learning environment that is tailored to each child's individual talents and needs, partnering with parents to provide a full learning experience for the whole child. Our company is large enough to provide efficient and effective service to our families, while maintaining a small, personal classroom for each of our locations.
