ALLENTOWN, Pa. (Oct. 27, 2025) – Grace Montessori School, a nonprofit school and childcare center serving children ages 15 months through sixth grade, is seeking new members to join its board of directors. Positions are for a three-year term with new members beginning to serve immediately upon election, and an opportunity to serve two consecutive terms.

This is an open invitation to apply, and Grace Montessori encourages those with experience in law, real estate, business and finance, community services and local business connections to submit their interest.
Board members will support Grace Montessori’s mission while also contributing to the organization’s future growth and development. With 35% of students receiving scholarship aid, Grace Montessori is committed to diversity, equity and improving the lives of children across the Lehigh Valley.
Board requirements include availability and a commitment to attend six board meetings per year, held every other month on the third Tuesday from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. via Zoom.
Additionally, board members must be at least 25 years old, and are expected to actively engage with the Grace Montessori community through volunteering, events or advocacy.
