Gloria Dei Montessori School

Gloria Dei Montessori began in 1962, founded by nationally recognized Montessori expert, Virginia Varga. Gloria Dei has a long list of "firsts" in our first 50 years: first Montessori class in Dayton, first toddler program in the U.S., and one of the first Lower Elementary (6-9) and Upper Elementary (9-12)  programs in the U.S. Gloria Dei Montessori is a small, diverse Montessori school north of Dayton, Ohio. Our school is nestled on a peaceful wooded lot in a quiet residential neighborhood, and we enroll students from 18 months through 9th grade.
