LEE MONTESSORI PCS

Lee Montessori PCS is a public charter elementary school that is part of the Lee Montessori PCS school district, located in Washington, DC with about 177 students offering grade levels from Pre-Kindergarten to 4th Grade. With about 8 teachers, Lee Montessori PCS has a student/teacher ratio of about 22:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

Serving students from early childhood (ages 3–6) through elementary school (grades 1–6), the school is dedicated to fostering independence, self-discipline, and a love for learning. By utilizing the Montessori method, the school emphasizes individualized instruction, multi-age classrooms, and a carefully prepared environment that allows children to progress at their own pace while developing both academic and social-emotional skills.

The school is deeply committed to equity and community, aiming to make high-quality Montessori education accessible to families across D.C. Beyond academics, Lee Montessori focuses on the "whole child," encouraging students to become active participants in their community and responsible citizens.
