At Shining Stars Montessori Academy, we provide a high-quality Montessori education enriched by culturally inclusive principles that inspire children to discover their unique gifts, develop their individual potential, and become confident, compassionate lifelong learners.

Our founders envisioned a school that would help transform educational outcomes for children in Washington, DC, preparing them not only for academic success but also for meaningful and purposeful lives. We are committed to making that vision a reality by creating an environment where every child is valued, respected, challenged, and encouraged to shine.

Welcome Back! We hope you and your family are having a wonderful summer! As we prepare for an exciting new school year at Shining Stars Montessori Academy Public Charter School (SSMA), we are reaching out to families who have been a valued part of our community.
What’s New at SSMA This Year? We have been working hard to expand our offerings and support for our scholars and families:
* Free Extended-Day Programming (8:00 AM – 6:00 PM)
* Leadership & Staffing Additions
* Facility Upgrades
* AVANZA Spanish-English Immersion Program
Your family will always be part of the SSMA community, and we are looking forward to seeing your young scholar back in our halls this school year!
