We also attend with the utmost care to the foundation underlying everything: the student’s practical understanding of the universal moral values.In this way a student:
There exists in every child curiosity, creativity and intelligence. Our vision at Green Valley School is that through a carefully prepared environment and a firm foundation in universal values, that every child will grow to their greatest potential to live happy and fulfilled lives and forever remain lifelong learners.
Who We Are
Green Valley School is a Montessori school located in Pembroke, NH.
We have 4 multi-age classrooms (Preschool through Jr. High) with approximately 70 students:
Green Valley School first opened in the winter of 1976 as a single preschool classroom called The Montessori Leaning Center. This classroom came about as the result of more than a year of organizational effort by interested parents.
In 1977, Bruce Dow reorganized the school as a not-for-profit corporation and it took up residence in the Concordia Lutheran Church.
Enrollment grew and by 1979 a second classroom was added in space created through remodeling an historic barn adjacent to the church.
1998 was a transition year for Green Valley School. With a large projected shortfall, parents and the Board of Directors came together in a massive effort to rescue the school from its financial troubles. A new administration with Wanda Nichols as the administrator came on board in February. That fall we reopened the school, refurbished and renewed in spirit.
In 2000 we changed our name to Green Valley School to reflect the addition of older students with a middle school. We continue to offer the best Montessori education in the area.
