The Best Environment for Young Minds to Grow

Montessori Academy, founded in 1965, is the oldest Association Montessori Internationale (AMI) accredited Montessori School in New Jersey. Our 11-acre campus includes herb, flower and vegetable gardens and farm animals which the children help to maintain and care for.


Why do so many families choose Montessori?

We chose it for all three of our children because we believe it is the best learning environment.
