Washington Montessori has a strong commitment to the principles and practices of diversity, including diversifying our student population geographically and socioeconomically. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, color, creed, gender, sexual orientation, national and ethnic origin, or physical or mental disability status in the administration of our educational and admissions policies or other school-administered programs.
