Gloucester Montessori School

Based on the teachings of 19th century educator
Maria Montessori, more than 5,000 schools in the
United States practice the Montessori Method, and
according to recent reports by the Washington Post,
more than 8,000 schools employ the method world
wide.

Montessori’s ground-breaking methodology
emphasizes the development of each child as an
individual thinker and learner in an atmosphere of
self discipline, respect and compassion.

GMS allows students to progress at their own pace
while developing social skills, academic excellence
and a love of learning. All this is done in an
environment that fosters discovery, independence
and leadership.

GMS is a full member school of the American
Montessori Society. All of our teachers are certified
by either the American Montessori Society (AMS)
or the American Montessori Institute (AMI).
AMS is the largest Montessori organization in the
world, and provides excellent resources for parents
to learn more about the history, philosophy and
practice of the Montessori Method.
