It Starts Here.
Tucked along Philadelphia’s historic Main Line, Gladwyne Montessori is where a lifelong love of learning takes root. Since 1962, we’ve helped children grow into confident thinkers, compassionate classmates, and capable leaders—ready for whatever comes next.
As the only accredited Montessori program in the region serving infants through Grade 6, we offer something extraordinary: a time-tested approach that honors each child’s individuality, paired with a future-facing mindset that prepares them for a world of change.
“The environment must be rich in motives which lend interest to activity and invite the child to conduct his own experiences.”
— Maria Montessori

At Gladwyne Montessori, learning isn’t about filling in blanks. It’s about discovery, choice, and the joy of mastering something new. In every classroom, from toddler to elementary, students are building the skills the world now values most—independence, empathy, adaptability, and purpose.
