The Montessori School is a full time day school for grades preschool through 6th grade. The school was founded in 1970 by a group of parents determined to provide quality Montessori education for their children through the 6th grade. Today the school consists of toddler, childrens house, lower elementary, and upper elementary classes, as well as a before- and after- school extended hours program on an 8 acre campus. The school is one of only a few Montessori Schools in the Phila area that extends its early childhood program through a 6th grade elementary program. The school educated children using the authentinc Montessori approach- a multi-sensory curriculum that allows for individualized teaching and for students to learn and be challenged at their own pace as they develop academically as a cummunity that fosters self-confidence, leadership, and respect for self and others. The school encouraes students to grow as self-motivated, intellectually engaged learners who will serve their larger communities as both accomplished students and ambassadors of peace.
