Greenspring Montessori School

It is a tall ask of any parent to trust a group of humans to help raise their children. Our children are our everything, and we aim to offer everything to our children. We aim to create a life where our children can thrive, where they can learn to be their best selves, where they can explore their truth, where they can be real, where they can feel safe, and where they can be seen. We have two daughters who spend their days at Greenspring Montessori (currently 4 and 3 years old). Our daughters are seen. They are heard. They are acknowledged. They inspire and they are inspired. They lead and they are led. They are learning in such a natural, exciting, true world. The guides at Greenspring Montessori are indispensable. They demonstrate patience for and understanding of each individual student the way a family member might. In essence, because they are family. The administration and senior leadership are accessible, willing, and open. They lead and live by the notion that "we are better together", and we feel that as a family. Daily. On an afternoon family adventure a few years ago, we drove by Greenspring Montessori, and our daughter who was only 3 at the time said, "Mama, look! This is my home when you and Daddy are at work!" Yes, my love, yes it is.

Montessori education is such a gift. Our three children (ranging in age from 6 to 11) are met exactly where they are (which means that no one is ever bored OR frustrated). Every morning, they run into school, excited to learn. They are thriving academically but more importantly, they are thriving as young people learning to be in the world; they are growing independence, civility, curiosity, and empathy. Greenspring Montessori has given them a community -- a place to be challenged and a place to belong -- and we are so grateful.

My daughter has been at Green spring for over 11 years. We weathered many changes at the school, but feel that it continues to grow as a strong Montessori community. It is very small and the upper level students are sometimes at a disadvantage as a result, but I feel the skills learned in this small community will support my child beyond her academic career. Thank you.

My wife and I are new to the Montessori Method of learning. Our son is a 2yr old Toddler and has attended Greenspring's young toddler program for nearly 6 months now. I can not say enough good things about this school and the community that supports it. In just this short amount of time our son has exploded with curiosity, confidence, and compassion.. Its astounding how they pull this all out of the children at Greenspring. Its most noticeable when he interacts with kids his age that attend conventional schooling. For lack of a better expression, its night and day the difference. It seems that he has leapfrogged these children in so many ways, but most noticeable being speech, motor skills and most of all confidence and how he carries himself. They have really put him in a position to be a leader and we can not be happier. He is so excited to go learn everyday.. We cannot be happier with our decision to send him to Greenspring. On top of it all, the facilities are outstanding. Simply an inspiring place to learn and grow.
