School Notes
Offering authentic, AMI-recognized Montessori education, our
curriculum focuses particularly on four core areas that reflect our
geographical region: Nature Conservation, the Arts, Sustainability,
and Entrepreneurship. Our campus is placed on a beautiful, 50-acre
old dairy-turned summer camp farm, which lends itself well to
outdoor learning and exploration for our students. Our guides are
all AMI-trained, or currently completing AMI-recognized training
and diploma modules.
- We are the first independent school in Delaware County to offer private programming for local kids, including a full-day Montessori program (for enrolled students only), summer school and daycare programming, as well as after school programming.
