Our Mission
Our Values
The Greenspring Montessori School community values self-knowledge, personal integrity, inspired purpose, and meaningful contribution nurtured through intentional guidance, academic discovery, and a culture of excellence.
At Greenspring Montessori School,
We endeavor to honor the dignity and belonging of all individuals in and beyond our community, acknowledging the inherent personhood of all identities, inclusive of race, ethnicity, national origin, immigration status, language, religion, socioeconomic status, gender identity, size, sexual orientation, age, neurodiversity, and dis/ability.
We engage in respectful conversations with all community members to understand diverse perspectives and lived experiences. Through shared dialogue, we seek to co-create a space for the empowerment of all members of our community to practice compassionate understanding.
We commit to creating a culture of belonging by leveraging continuous learning, addressing biases, evaluating educational decisions and curriculum, and supporting responsible action. This effort is a work in progress that is continuously evolving.
We agree that these values are not only a part of our method of education, but also a way of engaging life. They become more than just what we do; they inform who we are.
We believe these values develop an actively compassionate, curious, rational, and resilient orientation toward the self, the community, the environment, and the world, calling us to engaged, inclusive, and responsible citizenship.
