"The name Montessori is not legally protected, and unfortunately can be used by anyone without oversight."

Source of quote in title of this blog post:  Montessori International website. 

Neither Crossway nor the MCPS Community Montessori Charter School are registered with any Montessori chartering organization. 

Here are the 3 Montessori organizations:
Crossway and Community Montessori Charter School are not listed as members of any of these organizations.  

Why did the Montgomery County Board of Education approve the name of their one charter school to include the name "Montessori" if the school is not an accredited Montessori school?

  1. I contacted the school about this and received the following response:

    In response to your earlier inquiry on Montessori education, Crossway operates a "fully-implemented Montessori" program. This means:

    1. All of the guides hold AMI or AMS diplomas
    2. Crossway abides by the pedagogical standards established by AMI
    3. Is in the process of being accredited by the MSM
