An Authentically Christian School in Northern Virginia
Experience an atmosphere where children love to learn.
Ambleside School is a Christ-centered K-8 Christian school located in McLean, Virginia, that applies the philosophy of British educator Charlotte Mason — the only Christian school in our area to offer this method of education.
In partnership with the family, we encourage children to discover and embrace God’s truth, to link knowing with doing and to love learning.
