Schools
Over the course of five years, DC Wildflower Teacher-Leaders will open
up to six micro-schools in partnership with their chosen communities.
We are targeting neighborhoods in Wards 4, 5, 7, and 8 ready for our unique Montessori offerings.
The Riverseed School
Our first school opened Fall 2022 in Ward 7's Deanwood neighborhood. Its founding Teacher-Leaders, Ebony Marshman and Zanso Dalili-Ortique, are experienced Montessori educators, excited to live and work in Ward 7.
