Incredible school, we are SO happy with our decision to send our daughter here. One year in, her confidence, independence and love of learning have grown! The entire Greene Towne experience is so well thought out and truly designed to help children enjoy education and flourish. My daughter is the 3rd in my family to go here (her cousins both went through Kindergarten) and we're all thrilled with the experience, our kids' love of the school and the quality of the education.

Greene Towne has a 50+ year track record educating generations of children in Philadelphia. As the only Montessori school in the city fully accredited by the American Montessori Society and Pennsylvania Association of Independent Schools, every aspect of the school--from teacher training requirements to the detailed curriculum to the facilities and classroom materials--is held to the highest standards. We have personally had a great experience there with our two children since starting in 2019.
