A Great Education

Hershey Montessori School offers a unique and highly successful education program that is world renowned. Founded in 1978, Hershey prepares students to navigate and thrive in a rapidly changing world. Our education model is scientifically designed to meet the developmental needs and psychology of learning for children and adolescents from two months of age through completion of the twelfth grade. Our school promotes hands-on, self-paced, collaborative learning that engages the student in authentic problem solving in context of their environment and community. Students follow their innate interests, engage in deep intellectual inquiry, and reach academic mastery. They develop a strong sense of self, personal expression, and connection to community. Through experiential learning, studying the evolution of man and societies, and exploring roles of adults in many different social and professional contexts, they begin to explore their identity and role as contributors to humanity and agents of peace.
