Oneness-Family School is an independent, coeducational day school whose lower-school campus is in Chevy Chase, Maryland, and its upper-school campus is in Kensington, Maryland. It offers a Montessori education for students age 2 through grade 12, making it the only private Montessori high school in the Washington, D.C., area.[1] A nonprofit organization with 501(c)(3)status,[2] the school is a member of the American Montessori Society and National Association of Independent Schools.
Patricia (Pat) Dubin is the chair of the board of trustees.[3] Andrew Genova, a former alumnus, serves as the treasurer.[3] Andrew Kutt is the head of school.[3]
Kutt was working at the Barrie School in Silver Spring in January 1988 when he first discussed the idea of founding a school with Barrie headmaster Tim Seldin. Oneness-Family School was incorporated in the District of Columbia on May 18, 1988, and held its first classes the following September with 10 students.
The lower school, pre-school through 8th grade, is located on the grounds of St. John's Episcopal Church, Norwood Parish, in Chevy Chase. In 2017, the school added a second campus, for high school students, at Grace Episcopal Day School in Kensington.[4]
