ENRICHMENT PROGRAMS
Neshaminy Montessori believes in the power of a well-rounded education that nurtures and supports the whole child. We understand that learning extends beyond the traditional core subject areas, which is why we value the inclusion of special enrichment classes in our curriculum. These classes allow students to explore different interests, develop new skills, and discover hidden talents. By engaging in our enrichment programs, our students broaden their perspectives, foster creativity, and cultivate a love for lifelong learning.

Our Lower Elementary program blends technology with traditional, hands-on learning to support literacy development. The school library provides a dedicated computer station with internet access for research alongside other resources.

We may connect with other Montessori schools across the US and globally, enriching our lessons with diverse perspectives.
