The Butler Montessori School: An opportunity for a child to utilize the skills he or she already possesses, in an environment that encourages learning in their own special way.
Butler Montessori was founded in 1974 by Sister Mary Giuseppe, R.S.M.
of the Sisters of Mercy. Sister Giuseppe was the driving force behind the success of the school until 2001.
At that time, the new director, Mrs. Paula Mack, continued the tradition.
Presently, Butler Montessori enrolls over 45 students each year. Every parent who has ever enrolled a child in the Butler Montessori School program, and any student who has attended, can attest to its value and endurance in the future education of each student.
The school is state certified by the Pennsylvania State Board of Private Academic Schools, and is a nonprofit organization.
Butler Montessori is a lifetime member of the National Center for Montessori Education.
