Worse school my kids have been to. There is a lot of nepotism in the school's management and staff and that filters into the students. They are extremely disorganized and incompetent. They claim...

Gladwyne Montessori School

The Montessori approach to education is grounded in a child-centered model developed by Dr. Maria Montessori in the late 1800s. We focus on the student as a whole person, encouraging him to learn at his own pace, using all five senses, in mixed-aged classrooms. Our classes allow children to get to know one another on a deeper level. We use natural materials, like glass and wood, encouraging students to explore learning in an environment that is uniquely sized to their special world. We offer outstanding academics - from advanced mathematics, life sciences and world cultures to language, literature, art and music. At the same time, we instill in our students a sense of self-reliance, independence, acceptance and responsibility...beginning at age 2 and continuing through age 12.
