Rain or Shine 

 

Our faculty takes full advantage of the 60-acre campus that was conceived with the understanding that children should be outside often and with purpose. At Montgomery School, the natural world is our students' toolbox and boots are required classroom attire!

Free YMCA Membership for 7th Graders

The YMCA of Greater Brandywine offers all Chester County seventh graders a free membership. As kids face adolescence challenges, they are more likely to begin distancing themselves from formal organizations, friends and family and to experiment with unhealthy behaviors. The 7th Grade Initiative offers an alternative where they can make new friends, discover their passions and develop a sense of belonging while pursuing their personal and educational goals. Click below to learn more.

 

A special thank you to one of our 7th grade parents for sharing this information with us!
