History
History of the School In 1986, six mothers who shared a vision for creating a Montessori School in the Sewickley Valley formed The Glen Montessori School. They knew the power of the Montessori methods for teaching children and they wanted that for their own children as well as the community at large. In the Fall of 1986, the school welcomed its first class of 15 students. A second classroom was added the following year taking enrollment to 48 students. In 2001, The Glen relocated to a larger facility in Emsworth that had larger classrooms and office space to support The Glen's growth. Then in 2012, The Glen purchased its own building. (Previously Perrysville Elementary). This larger facility has many additional amenities such as a gymnasium, art room, and cafeteria. In May 2013, The Glen celebrated its first Sixth Grade Graduates. Today, The Glen is a school community for more than 230 children, from eight weeks old through sixth grade, and their families.
