Montgomery School

Montgomery School is an independent, co-educational day school serving prekindergarten through grade eight in Chester Springs, Pennsylvania. The School is dedicated to the development of each child in mind and body through academics, fine and performing arts, and athletics in an enriching cultural and physical environment. The School is equally committed to the development of each child’s character, with an emphasis on integrity, respect, responsibility, and service to others.

Montgomery School’s many resources include a 60-acre campus rich in facilities, a strong faculty and staff, and a loyal community. The School is committed to being a good steward of these assets by carefully optimizing their use and adopting responsible environmental practices, and fulfilling our mission through prudent and sustainable fiscal management. Through these efforts, we will model these guiding principles for our students as an important component of their overall learning experience.
