If Montessori is new to you and your family, or even if you need a refresh, it's helpful to understand what your child can expect to experience in each program!

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!

Peace education plays a fundamental role at Apple Montessori Schools.

Within the Montessori philosophy of child development and education, the teacher’s role is to observe the students and facilitate learning by guiding and mentoring them in their individual learning journeys.

At Apple Montessori Schools, we encourage children to select and engage in individual activities, enabling them to learn at their own pace. Our personalized approach empowers children to discover and explore activities that most interest them, dedicating as much time as desired to each pursuit. This freedom of choice cultivates self-discipline, creativity, problem-solving skills, and a lifelong passion for learning.

In Montessori education, daily mindfulness practice and concentrated attention are important tools in creating a conducive classroom environment for learning. At Apple Montessori Schools, we understand the need to give children moments to breathe quietly and focus their energy in a positive way during mindfulness lessons to help nurture the mind and body.

At Apple Montessori Schools, we believe in developing and nurturing the whole child ― physically, emotionally, academically and socially ― to help them realize their full potential. By using real materials for meaningful learning experiences in the classroom, there is a connection between the child and reality.
