At Evergreen, we believe in self-paced learning, caring teachers and small class size.
Students experience the joy of discovery in an intimate and engaging classroom setting.
Our Montessori program develops independence and provides a great foundation of academic skills. We have been educating children in Montessori tradition since 1964. We pride ourselves in the racial and cultural diversity of our student body.
We have been recognized as the most culturally diverse school in the Maryland Association of Independent Schools.
In addition, we are committed to being good stewards of the environment.

Our strong academic program begins in our two-year old program.

School Reviews

At Evergreen, we believe that first years of life are the most important. There is no time when a person experiences more cognitive, social and emotional growth.
Not only are children developing the intellectual skills they need for academic success, they are developing the patterns of independence, confidence and a relationship to the world that will forever influence who they are.
See our website to learn more about us and why the Montessori approach is so effective at Evergreen School. You are welcome to schedule a visit, too.
Regards,
John DeMarchi, Head of School
