Learning becomes meaningful when children can experience it for themselves.

Montessori materials invite students to touch, explore, question, practice, and discover. These hands-on experiences help children understand complex ideas while developing problem-solving skills and a genuine love of learning.

At WMS, students don’t simply memorize information—they learn by doing.

We are thrilled to share that Williamsburg Montessori School has been voted “Best Of” for the ninth consecutive year!

This recognition means so much to us because it comes from the community we are so proud to call home.

To our WMS families, alumni, friends, faculty, staff, and everyone who took the time to vote — THANK YOU!

For nine years, your support has helped WMS earn this incredible recognition, but what makes us proudest is what happens in our classrooms every day: children discovering their independence, developing confidence, building meaningful relationships, and experiencing the joy of learning through the Montessori method.

This summer, our WMS campers are exploring the world one magnifying glass at a time! From investigating leaves and flowers up close, to carefully crafting their own butterfly creations with glue and yarn, every day is full of wonder, curiosity, and hands-on discovery.

At Williamsburg Montessori School, summer camp isn’t just about staying busy — it’s about following each child’s natural curiosity and giving them the tools to explore it. Whether they’re examining nature side-by-side with a friend or creating something beautiful with their own hands, our campers are learning, growing, and having a blast doing it. ☀️

Great news: our auction has gone online, which means everyone is invited.

What started as an evening for a lucky few has become an opportunity for our entire WMS community — near and far — to be part of something meaningful. Whether you’re a current family, an alumni parent, a grandparent cheering from across the state, or a neighbor who simply believes in what we’re building here, you now have a seat at the table.

And what a table it is.

Browse and bid on one-of-a-kind classroom art projects — the kind of pieces that only exist because a child’s hands made them, full of color, imagination, and heart. These aren’t just auction items. They’re little windows into the creativity that fills our classrooms every day.

You’ll also find an exciting lineup of live auction items curated with care for this community.

Every bid supports something real: the Large Outlast Block Set that will transform outdoor play at WMS, scholarships that open our doors wider, and teacher training that keeps our educators at their finest.

So share this page. Bid boldly. And know that wherever you’re reading this, you are part of this community — and this community is worth showing up for.

The auction is open. Let’s build something together.
