About Our School
NRV Montessori is a private Montessori school in Floyd, VA, currently serving children ages 6 to 12 years old.

Our mission is to unlock the potential of each child through individualized, broad-based education. We want to give children the means and opportunities with which to become well-rounded self-motivated learners.

Montessori is a philosophy and method of education that allows children to experience their own path of academic achievement through classrooms that foster independence, individualized learning, and emotional intelligence. Our curriculum also includes cooking, social-emotional learning through music, and other opportunities for learning outside of the classroom.
