At Apple Montessori Schools, our mission extends beyond academic excellence. We are committed to nurturing the whole child—mind, body, and spirit—and empowering students to make a meaningful difference in the world. In December 2024, we proudly continued one of our most cherished traditions: our Annual Apple Olympics fundraiser to benefit Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC) of the New York Metro Area.

Apple Montessori Schools is thrilled to announce the opening of its 21st location coming this fall, as Apple in Paramus is set to join the orchard!

At Apple Montessori Schools, we pride ourselves in our Classroom Behind the Classroom, the purposeful training given to staff throughout the year. Here's an update on the Professional Development Day we held on Presidents Day 2025.

Spring has sprung in New Jersey! Dress for the season with Apple Montessori Schools!

Apple Montessori Schools is pleased to share that we have recently implemented the iReady literacy program as a pilot effort at our Woodbridge Avenue and Mahwah Schools. iReady is an evidence-based instruction and assessment tool that equips educators with the resources they need to drive student success and outcomes.

We are pleased to share that beginning this fall, and to kick off the 2024-25 academic year at Apple, our network of accredited modern Montessori Schools across New Jersey will increase from 18 to 20 locations, as new schools in Princeton and Westfield are coming on board!

Apple Montessori Schools will be opening its newest school location in Hillsborough at 302 South Branch Road on November 1st. This new school will serve children 6 weeks through 6 years.

After a two-year hiatus due to COVID-19, the Apple Community united to support Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC). Through a Spring Olympic Day fundraiser, they were able to raise $10,344.00 for a lifetime amount of $202,540.12 raised in donations since 2011. Families at each of Apple Montessori’s schools in Cliffside Park, Edgewater, Edison, Hoboken, Kinnelon, Mahwah, Metuchen, Morris Plains, Oakland, Randolph, Towaco, Warren, and Wayne contributed to this important cause.

Kinnelon, NJ – On Tuesday, June 29th, friends, family, and colleagues gathered to celebrate the life and legacy of the late Rex Bailey. As a two-term public School Board President for the Kinnelon Board of Education, Mr. Bailey was a pillar of the community, and continued his passion of setting high standards for all levels of education by co-founding Apple Montessori Schools, one of the first Montessori schools in northern New Jersey, with his wife, Jane Bailey in 1972.
