Adams International School
Located on 131 beautiful acres in Maidens, Virginia, the Adams International School (AIS) is a unique learning community, a growing Montessori school for children and a vibrant academic and artistic enrichment center for all ages. A child's education at AIS is respectfully intentional, based on timeless core values. We offer an alternative to grade-chasing, hours of homework, and the roller-coaster of punishment and overpraising found in many institutions.
A MESSAGE FROM TAMRA ADAMS
Director, Adams International School
Maria Montessori’s philosophy, which is rooted in education's duty to honor, challenge and inspire each unique child, is at the heart of why I founded Adams International School. I envisioned a place where academic rigor was a natural outgrowth of a child's genuine joy and enthusiasm; where respect for the environment was lived, not just taught; and where world cultures could be experienced through art, study, and play. AIS is all that I imagined and more. Children and their families enter into a dynamic learning community, a safe haven for exploration, discovery and expression where students have access to world-class learning materials and facilities in an idyllic, farm-like setting. When you hold your event at South View Farm, you support a growing Montessori community of learning.
