Marlboro Montessori Academy offers a joyful, academically-rich learning environment in which each student is supported and challenged to discover strengths and explore opportunities in an atmosphere of respect for self, others, and the environment. The classroom reflects a new stage of development and curriculum expansion.#N#The goal for the elementary child is to develop an understanding of life in general. They strive to develop an awareness of the similarities of the basic needs of all mankind and an appreciation for the wide variety of ways in which those needs are met. We encourage an awareness of the interdependence of men and nations with a desire for cooperation and peace. The 6 - 9 age group is very curious and needs to reach outside the classroom for more answers. Wonder is intrinsic to their learning.#N#The elementary classrooms are multi-age settings which foster the spirit of family and community. Mixed-age grouping provides mentoring opportunities among the students. Peer teaching is key to the success of fostering confidence and self-esteem in students of Montessori Schools.#N#During the Montessori elementary years, students are very centered around the question...why, where, when, and how. These questions are often the basis for exploration and discovery.#N#As children mature through these elementary years, they gain the ability to go from concrete to abstract thinking; they are fascinated with all aspects of their culture and the grandeur of the world.#N#During this century other Montessori students have asked similar questions and, subsequently, had a major impact on the entire world. Founders of Google, Wikipedia, and Amazon were all students of Montessori schools where their creativity and exploration gave them the confidence to challenge traditional ways of thinking.#N#Their amazing imaginations are dramatically propelled into the study of the universe. The interest in integrated studies of science, technology and geography all come naturally to elementary students. It is in these disciplines that they can challenge the world with their question of "why not?"#N#During this century other Montessori students have asked similar questions and, subsequently, had a major impact on the entire world.

Where is Marlboro Montessori Academy?

I would like to be the first to welcome you to the Marlboro Montessori Academy in Morganville, NJ. As one of the pioneer Montessori schools in the area, we have been following the remarkable philosophy of Montessori Education founded by Dr. Maria Montessori since 1978. It seems like only yesterday that I taught my first preschool class. Nearly four decades later, I am still as passionate about teaching young children as I was the first day the school opened. As I walk through the classrooms, I am amazed how the Montessori education still remains the same, even though the times have changed over the years. Our student's desire to learn and experience the hands-on learning materials is remarkable. Montessori school classrooms are simply joyous! This is truly reflected on the faces of our young students as they greet their teachers each day. They all seem to have "it's another great day at Montessori" enthusiasm. Stop by and see for yourself why the Montessori Philosophy of Education is now proven to be extremely successful on all continents of the world.#N#We look forward to seeing you soon.
