Nestled amid 14 acres of wetlands in Federal Way, Washington, Montessori Academy at Spring Valley (MASV) offers a nurturing educational environment for children aged two and a half through the eighth grade.

We invite you to explore Montessori Academy at Spring Valley!

At MASV, children partake in a diverse range of activities tailored to their age and developmental stage, both indoors and outdoors. Our classrooms are equipped with Montessori materials covering practical life, sensorial, language, and mathematics, and enriched with handcrafted lessons spanning the sciences, history, music, and art. Teachers, trained to address not only academic but also social, physical, and spiritual needs, accompany students at every level, fostering critical thinking, risk-taking, and responsibility from the outset.

Our expansive outdoor setting provides ample space for children to explore nature and engage in play with peers. A highlight of our yearly agenda is the Salmon Project, where fourth to eighth-grade students receive salmon eggs from a local hatchery, nurturing them into fingerlings. This initiative enables students to delve into the intricacies of the salmon life cycle and share their insights with younger classmates, fostering a sense of community and mentorship. Upon reaching maturity, the entire school comes together to release the salmon into Hylebos Creek. This hands-on experience instills in children the significance of environmental stewardship and their capacity to effect positive change in their community, one small salmon egg at a time. At MASV, we empower children to enact meaningful differences in the world around them from an early age.

"During the process of searching for Katie’s future “high school” home, we were very happy with how well Montessori Academy had prepared Katie for her continuing education – she came across as mature, confident, and intelligent…We wish to thank the Montessori Academy teachers, administration, and students for the wonderful job done preparing the children to face the challenges and adventures awaiting them in life."

"This is my daughter's first year…we could not be happier with her improvement and all that she has learned and done in class. Her progress is amazing. I love her teacher. I love the school morals and values. And I love that it's small and feels like a community. Everyone is friendly and helpful. I would recommend this school a million times!"

“I am in love with this school…when we met the staff, I fell in love. They're friendly, caring, and they genuinely have an interest in each student. Every day that I pick up my daughter her teacher is always complimenting students on what they did well that day. I think it's important to build children up. Since my daughter has been enrolled, she's just made leaps and bounds. Great school.”
