FROM WONDER TO MASTERY
A Purposeful Academic Journey
At Gladwyne Montessori, education is not a race: it’s a journey.
One that begins in infancy and continues through sixth grade, unfolding with care, intention, and trust in each child’s unique pace and potential.
A Seamless Experience - from Infancy Through Grade 6
Our Montessori program is built on the belief that children learn best when they feel confident, curious, and deeply known.
What makes Gladwyne Montessori’s academic program exceptional is its cohesiveness. Across every division, students move through thoughtfully designed environments, with each stage building deliberately on the last.
Our curriculum is academically robust, deeply personalized, and designed to help students master core concepts at grade level and beyond.
From advanced math and research writing in the Elementary years to early literacy and sensory integration in the youngest classrooms, every lesson is taught with precision, purpose, and adaptability. Students are given the space to go deep, the structure to stay focused, and the guidance to keep growing.
The result is a seamless academic arc where students don’t just meet benchmarks. They exceed them, with joy, depth, and ownership of their learning.
How Montessori Maps to
Traditional Grades
New to Montessori and not sure sure where your child fits in? We're here to help.
Montessori programs don’t follow a one-grade-per-year model. Instead, students learn in multi-age groupings, which allow them to grow at their own pace—academically, socially, and emotionally.
