New School Montessori

New School Montessori We are an independent, Montessori school serving children ages infant-8th grade. Proudly the only AMS - Accredited Montessori School in Lancaster, PA!

New School Montessori is a private, independent, Montessori school serving children ages infant through eighth grade. Our campuses span two locations; one in historic Lancaster City and the other in Manheim Township, Pennsylvania. We provide a nurturing atmosphere that enables children to develop a love of learning. Our commitment is to children. We focus on the whole child by recognizing each child’s individual needs. Our staff appreciates differences in children and nurtures their intellectual, emotional, physical, and social development in a respectful and caring environment. We guide students to challenge and develop themselves and to value learning as an exciting part of life. Inspired by the work of Dr. Maria Montessori, we believe that children have an innate ability to learn from their surroundings. Our environment encourages students to explore, question, and perfect their skills. Classroom materials designed by Dr. Montessori capture the children’s natural curiosity, and caring, committed teachers use that spark of interest to guide their growth and learning into skill and competence. The New School Montessori is fully accredited with the American Montessori Society (AMS), licensed by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, State Board of Private Academic Schools, and accredited by the Pennsylvania Association of Independent Schools (PAIS). Our Extended Care Program is licensed by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Department of Human Services.

In this week's Art Workshop, campers are designing colorful glass-fused suncatchers while building on the skills they learned the day before.

As they planned their designs, students explored imagery and symbolism, discussed how transparency affects both the function and beauty of a suncatcher, and practiced safely attaching high fire wire for hanging.

While many of yesterday's glass magnets featured abstract designs, today's suncatchers inspired many campers to create realistic landscapes and scenes. Along the way, they revisited the concepts of abstraction and realism, continued learning about the glass fusing process, and reinforced safe glass handling techniques.

We can't wait to see these beautiful creations catch the sunlight! ☀️✨
