"I wish I had gone to a school like this!"
You hear that statement from many parents who tour the Gladwyne Montessori School...
As they walk our corridors and visit our classrooms, they perceive a learning culture that feels both new and familiar. The hallways buzz with youthful energy, but there is also an ambiance of calm and order that gives students the freedom to concentrate. Classrooms brim with educational materials, yet each is neatly organized. Students learn together in small groups, and they work closely with teachers to get the individual attention they need.
"It seems
like such a natural way to learn," parents say. That may be the most telling observation of all, because children naturally want to learn. Children have a deep, intuitive need to explore and understand the world they live in through their own senses. And that, in essence, is what the Gladwyne Montessori School is all about: offering children the opportunity and security to fulfill their natural love of learning. Chances are, this all sounds different from the school you went to as a child. But as you will see, the Gladwyne Montessori School is different... different by design .
