Academic Terms
Capital
Montessori School runs two academic terms during the year. The
Fall term runs from the beginning of September through the end of May.
The Summer term runs from the beginning of June through the end of the
third week in August. Both terms are academic in nature, however
we take advantage of the wonderful Washington Summers with more outdoor
learning opportunities during the Summer.
