THE ADMISSIONS PROCESS AT GLADWYNE MONTESSORI

Begin a Journey of Lifelong Learning

At Gladwyne Montessori, our admissions process is more than just online forms or paperwork - it’s the beginning of a partnership. If you're excited to see the person your child will become, we’re here to guide you every step of the way.

 

How to Apply

We understand that choosing a school is one of the most important decisions you’ll make. Our goal is to make the process supportive, clear, and personalized.

An important note about Infant-Toddler Admissions

Our Infant and Toddler programs are part of our school’s academic-year structure (September through May), designed to mirror the rhythm and purpose of a traditional school calendar.  This rich, engaging school-year experience that lays the foundation for a seamless transition into our Primary and Elementary programs.

We do not provide year round childcare that covers the summer months or other school holidays.
