The Montessori method of educating children is a time-tested, scientifically validated approach that centers on the individualized educational and developmental needs of the child.
Children learn at their own pace, exploring advanced academic concepts and skills through hands-on materials and freedom of choice. Adolescents apply formal academic skills and concepts through projects that are solving genuine needs of the land or the many businesses on the farm. All students learn to care for themselves, their community, and the environment in an integrated approach that prepares them for adulthood.
Students with a Montessori education carry with them a strong sense of self and an innate love of learning. They emerge with a maturity and independence that drives them to be confident problem solvers, who are aware of their community, and who pursue their passions through their chosen college and career pathways.

“As a mental health professional who works to help schools provide trauma informed care to their students, I have very high standards for the care and education my children receive. Knowing that my children are receiving individualized care that supports their independence, emotional regulation, and social skills, while developing lifelong skills for curiosity and learning, brings me such confidence that they are receiving the best care and education available to them. I’ve participated in discussions and events put on by the school, and I can confidently say that the strategies and approaches used at Hershey are well in line with evidence based practices that promote growth and resilience in students from all backgrounds.”
