About Christian Family Montessori School

The Christian Family Community, a small organization of progressive Catholic families in D.C., founded Christian Family Montessori School (CFMS) in 1981. The families created CFMS to provide a school for their children and their neighbors, where the teachers would treat each student with respect and equip them with the necessary academic skills. The school opened with 12 students in September 1981, meeting in the living room of Catherine and Charley Maresca. Rebekah Rojcewicz was the CFMS teacher, who had studied in Rome with Sofia Cavalletti the initiator of the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd. In March 1982, CFMS moved to St. James Catholic Church in Mt. Rainier, Md. For nearly 30 years, the school provided an education for children aged 2.5 to 12 years old, adding a second Primary class and two Elementary classes along the way. CFMS continues to provide an excellent education and nurturing environment for its students. The school strives to create a community of caring individuals who respect each other and understand their connection with God. CFMS is honored to carry on the original vision of the Christian Family Community, providing an education that is both spiritually and academically enriching.

Elementary Class Curriculum

Cosmic Education is the name Maria Montessori gave to her plan for the education of the second-plane child (ages six or seven through twelve.) She envisioned a coherent introduction to all human knowledge and culture, designed to help the children explore the universe and find their unique places in it.
