Grace Montessori School is dedicated to nurturing the whole child through an education that fosters intellectual, physical, and emotional growth. By reserving at least 30% of enrollment for children from economically disadvantaged families, we ensure accessibility to our transformative Montessori education. Proceeds from our Annual Benefit support scholarships and sustain programs that enrich the Montessori experience, including STEAM, yoga, music, art, Spanish, and remedial reading. These offerings are essential to Montessori’s mission of cultivating creativity, independence, and a love of learning. With your support, we can continue empowering every child to thrive.

*Grace Montessori School, part of the Episcopal Diocese of the Susquehanna, is exempt from Federal Income Tax under Section 501 (c) (3)
