Alef Bet Montessori School

Alef Bet Montessori School in Rockville, MD serves children ages 18 months through 12 years in a Montessori setting that intentionally supports students with language-based and mild learning differences. The school combines Montessori principles—which emphasize self-directed learning, hands-on materials, and individualized pacing—with comprehensive Judaic studies and full Hebrew language immersion, creating a structured yet flexible environment suited to diverse learners.

With just 51 students and 7 classroom teachers, Alef Bet maintains small class sizes that allow for personalized attention and differentiated instruction. The school's Montessori approach naturally accommodates varied learning styles through multi-sensory materials and mixed-age classrooms, while their explicit Learning Difference Programs provide targeted support for students who benefit from language-focused intervention. Staff are trained in both AMI (Association Montessori International) methods and special education practices.

The school welcomes students with language-based learning disabilities and mild learning differences through a rolling admissions process. Families can contact the school at (301) 556-5010 or visit alefbetmontessori.org to discuss whether the Montessori model and Hebrew immersion program align with their child's learning profile and needs.
