Welcome to International Montessori Schools

The discovery of a child’s true potential


Our four schools are located along the Main Line and throughout the Greater Philadelphia area, serving families in Malvern, Paoli, Berwyn, Devon, Wayne, Frazer, Exton, Downingtown, West Chester, Thorndale, Chester Springs, Collegeville, Royersford, Phoenixville, King of Prussia, Kennett Square, and Audubon, Pennsylvania.


International Montessori Schools offer Montessori infant and toddler care, preschool, and kindergarten programs for children from 6 weeks to 6 years old. Since 2004, our Montessori-trained teachers have followed an authentic Montessori curriculum that supports each child’s natural curiosity, independence, and love of learning. Across our campuses, children are gently connected to nature through hands-on experiences with animals such as chickens, ducks, goats, and honeybees. We also offer before and after school care and full-day summer camp programs in a warm, supportive environment where children feel known, valued, and confident.
