Greenspring Montessori School offers academic programs for children ages 18 months of age through 8th grade. Montessori education promotes self-paced, collaborative learning to ignite the passion and curiosity of our students. Our programs nurture the child’s innate desire to learn, allowing them to develop strong academics, leadership, self-discipline, independence, and responsibility – traits they will carry with them through high school and beyond. Greenspring Montessori has built a tradition of serving children implementing the educational philosophy of Dr. Maria Montessori, an Italian physician and pioneer in child development who observed that children have an innate aptitude and desire for acquiring knowledge about their world.
