Your Support Matters

Thank you for your interest in supporting MSNV. Your generosity plays a meaningful role in the life of our school and in the experiences of every child who learns here.

At MSNV, we guide students as they grow academically, socially, and emotionally. In partnership with families, we foster curiosity, creativity, collaboration, and resilience—helping children develop the skills and confidence they need to meet challenges and engage thoughtfully with the world around them.

For more than 60 years, MSNV has been strengthened by the commitment of parents, faculty, alumni, and friends who believe in our mission. This shared support allows us to provide exceptional learning environments, invest in outstanding educators, and offer rich programs that reflect our values and vision.

Your contributions help ensure that MSNV continues to thrive as a place where children are known, supported, and inspired to love learning, love one another, and love the world around them.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is The MSNV Fund?

The MSNV Fund supports initiatives which allow us to fulfill our MSNV mission and provide our children with a rich, diverse environment and high-quality Montessori education. The MSNV Fund runs from July 1-June 30 each year. We strive for 100% participation from the MSNV Board of Trustees, our faculty, staff and parent body to The MSNV Fund. From training teachers to beefing up learning materials, the MSNV Fund directly impacts students.

Why should I give to The MSNV Fund?

Your gift to The MSNV Fund enriches your child’s experience at school. As a private institution, MSNV depends on a number of sources for financial support. Gifts to The MSNV Fund allow MSNV to expand the Montessori experience for every student, through improvements in infrastructure, materials, teaching techniques, parent support and learning opportunities. By providing additional resources in all these areas, we are able to provide an exceptional Montessori experience for your child.

When should I give my gift?

The MSNV Fund year runs from July 1 through June 30. You may give your gift at any point during the year. You may make a gift or pledge (to be fulfilled by June 30) by calling 703-256-9577.

What are the goals of The MSNV Fund this year?

Each year, we strive for 100% participation from our parent body across our two campuses, from Preprimary through 6th grade.

I can’t afford to make a big gift when I am already paying tuition (or on financial aid). Why should I participate?

MSNV welcomes all gifts, no matter the amount. MSNV strives for 100% participation in the Annual Fund, not only because it sends a powerful message that our entire MSNV community stands behind our mission, but also because it gives MSNV the flexibility to seize on mission supporting opportunities that enable our program to thrive.
