Brookeside Montessori School has been serving the greater Boyertown community for over twenty years and offers a wide range of educational programs. Brookeside is a licensed Private Academic School with the Pennsylvania Department of Education and is a fully affiliated school with the American Montessori Society. We are staffed by state certified teachers who also hold Montessori certifications. 

Brookeside Montessori School is a non profit organization. A Board of Directors, composed of parents and other individuals, volunteers time and talents for the benefit of our school. We also have an active Home and School Association that plans fundraisers and events throughout the year.

Our Philosophy

The Brookeside Montessori school community works to create an environment that inspires children to develop inner discipline, self-confidence, and a love of learning. We respect the uniqueness of each student by helping each child develop skills at periods of greatest readiness and sensitivity.

Our educational philosophy is guided by the teachings of Dr. Maria Montessori. We strive to inspire the development of each child in a safe, supportive, culturally diverse environment, which gives student's freedom to explore, cooperate, and be creative.

The school's child-centered educational environment provides activities and a Pennsylvania state approved curriculum appropriate to each child's developmental stage. The integrated curricula are guided by a highly trained staff, which is aware of the needs of the individual child. The children are in mixed-age settings, which allow them to build long-term relationships with other children and their teachers within a caring academic community.

The child's experience is more complete when parents and family commit to an active role in their child's education. Parent educational materials and programs encourage parents' participation in the education process at each stage of the child's development. As the school and home work together, the child develops the confidence needed to venture out into the world and become involved in projects which will serve the community. This dynamic partnership of child, parent, and teacher, develops a consistent Montessori framework for learning and reinforces our core values: "Every child is gifted...every child has needs."
