HOWARD COUNTY, MD While many schools shuttered their doors during the coronavirus pandemic, The Journey School, a private Montessori school serving students in grades first through 8th in Spencerville remained open.
Founder and head of school Christina Thomas told Patch that the school opened Sept. 1, 2020, and will be wrapping up the spring semester soon. In order to safely operate, class sizes remained small, masks were worn, social distancing was implemented and everyone engaged in frequent hand washing and equipment disinfecting. There are strict drop-off times where students temperatures were taken and an online health screen completed.
