Welcome to Greenspring Montessori School! Finding the right school for your child is one of the most important decisions you will make for your child and we are here to support you on your journey. Our goal throughout the admissions process is to help provide you and your family with as much information as possible about the Montessori model and Greenspring Montessori School so that you may make an informed decision in selecting the best school for your child and family.
