Lower School

Welcome to Montgomery's Lower School!

We live in a world where our children are presented with situations on a daily basis that in previous generations was the purview of the grown-up world. That discrepancy, that fine line has been nearly washed out as children are faced with myriads of information, from the world of their peers, the multiple aspects of television, supermarket tabloids, video movies, and the internet. This phenomenon has caused a precocity in children that makes them appear socially savvy. It the end, we find that children are not savvy at all, but these premature adult attitudes increase insecurity and self-consciousness. Time after time we hear parents say, “Oh, my child is growing up so fast.” The longer we forestall adulthood and all of its trappings, the more our children will love to learn, and the more likely they are to keep that sense of learning as a precious commodity.

Montgomery School believes unequivocally that the ideal school is one in which the students feel safe and accepted; a school where the students are not bombarded with social distractions and their older counterparts, a school which focuses solely on their intellectual, social, and physical development. Visit Montgomery School to see this caring environment in action, and to meet our dedicated faculty.
