Wyoming Valley Montessori School recently named their new Head of School, Justin Kleinheider. After a national search, the Board of Directors announced Justin Kleinheider as the school’s new leader beginning July 1.
“From the moment I stepped foot in the building on my first tour as a parent, I fell in love with the school and the people who deliver WVMS’s most important mission of ‘inspiring children who will change the world.’ I could not be prouder to be leading one the premier Montessori programs in the country next school year. I am looking forward to collaborating with the faculty, staff, board, parents, and students for years to come,” said Justin Kleinheider.
Justin joins WVMS with almost 25 years of experience in independent school education and leadership. His previous administrative roles have included Head of School, Dean of Academics and Dean of Students. He also has 20 years of experience in the classroom as a history teacher for both middle and high school.
“We are excited to have found in Justin a leader who can honor our history and lead the school forward through these exciting times for our learning community,” said Matt Cannavale, WVMS Board Chair.
