The Greensboro Montessori School enrolls children from the age of 18 months through the 8th grade. GMS is a dynamic, progressive school committed to the educational theory and practice established by Dr. Maria Montessori over 100 years ago, and which continues to be supported by the latest brain research and educational best practices.

Upcoming Events Calendar
At the Greensboro Montessori School, learning is a journey. Our mission is to nurture children to be creative, eager learners as they discover their full potential and become responsible, global citizens. Our teachers and curriculum inspire a joy of learning, academic success, intellectual excitement, creativity, and emotional well-being in each of our students.
Our school is accredited by the American Montessori Society, The Southern Association of Independent Schools and the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, now known as AdvanceEd. We offer the opportunity to share more about our school and invite you to visit during our monthly Open Houses to learn more.
Land Program from The Greensboro Montessori School on Vimeo.The GMS Land Laboratory program was devised by a team of Montessori teachers in 2004 and is now in it’s 8th year. Based on Maria Montessori’s vision of the Erdkinder, early adolescent students travel to a wooded retreat in Oak Ridge, NC every six week to eight weeks for 3 nights and 4 days, camping with no electricity and transporting their water in jugs and bins on student-made “chariots” constructed from old bicycles and baby carriages.
Dear GMS Community,
Pascal-Emmanuel Gobry, a contributing writer to Forbes On-Line Magazine, recently wrote about how the Future Of Education Was Invented In 1906. He began his piece reflecting on a school in Mexico wherein the students from “very underprivileged” homes are doing remarkably well in an environment that is “utilizing student-directed methods” including laptops. He went on to say that even though such seemingly revolutionary teaching methods are being used and enhanced by what he calls “techno-utopianism and the internet and technology transforming schools”, that what we are missing is that such revolutionary methods actually began in 1906 when Maria Montessori opened her first Casa di Bambini in a poverty stricken area of Rome.
