Our Learning Community

The Capitol Hill Montessori at Logan Education Campus community is vibrant, active, and dedicated. Capitol Hill Montessori at Logan is comprised of Primary, Elementary, and Middle Grades programs with approximately 400 students enrolled in Preschool 3-year-old to Kindergarten and Grades 1 – 8.

Our Montessori trained, dedicated teachers work in multi-age group classrooms, a hallmark of the Montessori approach. They apply the Montessori method by focusing on supporting whole-child development by observing students’ interests and passions and using them to teach rigorous, common-core aligned academics. A specialized Montessori implementer works with teachers and support staff to ensure that authentic Montessori philosophy and practices are being applied at all levels within our school. Resource teachers, a guidance counselor, a social worker and a school psychologist provide additional support for students. Other educators who provide specialized instruction across all grades include a physical education teacher, a French teacher, a resource teacher, a librarian, and a theater arts teacher. Parents, the general community, and staff members volunteer to engage and support student interests during after school clubs and programs, such as our highly successful track and field team, our Fiber Arts Studio, and our K-Kids service club.

All-Day Care Options

For families who choose before- and after-school care, we have partnered with Alphabest, which staffs its extended day offerings with experienced schoolteachers. They serve to support and enrich students academically, as well as developing their personal interests, hobbies, and talents.

School Community

Our parents work closely with the school to support fundraising, classroom projects, family fun nights, school-wide celebrations and teacher and staff appreciation events. CHML values and highly encourages parent engagement through volunteering at the school. Volunteer efforts and time greatly contribute to the success of our children and school community.  Please ensure you find some time, an event, or a cause to volunteer for each school year that supports CHML and its students.

Capitol Hill Montessori at Logan Education Campus is a learning community whose highest priorities are excellence, implementation of the Montessori method, whole-child development, service, and collaboration. Students, parents, educators, staff, and community partners work hand-in-hand to make our school successful.

Bullying Prevention

DCPS strives to provide students with optimal conditions for learning by maintaining a school environment where everyone is treated with respect and no one is physically or emotionally harmed. Acts of bullying by students are strictly prohibited on school premises; at any school-sponsored activity or event on and off DCPS grounds; on public and school transportation, including stop locations; using school property or equipment; walking to and from school; or in any other place where a student has access to DCPS-provided technology.

The definition for bullying in DCPS is: 

“Bullying,” means any severe, pervasive, or persistent act or conduct, whether physical, electronic, or verbal that: 

• May be based on a person’s actual or perceived race, color, ethnicity, religion, national origin, sex, age, marital status, personal appearance, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, intellectual ability, familial status, family responsibilities, matriculation, political affiliation, genetic information, disability, source of income, status as a victim of an intrafamily offense, place of residence or business, or any other distinguishing characteristic, or on a youth’s association with a person, or group with any person, with one or more of the actual or perceived foregoing characteristics; and 
• Shall be reasonably predicted to: 
• Place a student in reasonable fear of physical harm to his or her person or property. 
• Cause a substantial detrimental effect on the student’s physical or mental health. 
• Substantially interfere with the student’s academic performance or attendance; or 
• Substantially interfere with the student’s ability to participate in or benefit from school activities or services; or 
• Materially and disrupts the education process or the orderly operation of a school. 

Bullying also occurs when a student or group of students organizes a campaign against another student or when a student or group of students maliciously spread rumors about another student.
