Our mission is to nurture and guide our students in the development of character, compassion, respect, curiosity and the means to learn, to invent and participate fully and joyfully in life--independently and in collaboration with others.
We pursue our mission by maintaining the highest standard of facility and instruction as set out by the Association Montessori Internationale.
The teachers at the Montessori Academy are trained and experienced in the Montessori Method.
Their primary responsibility is to ensure the continuing development of each child; they set the stage, provide the correct props and leave the child free to learn.
Our meticulously groomed 11 acre campus provides the perfect setting with meadows, nature trails, flower, herb and vegetable gardens, fitness circuit, and playgrounds, farm animals-which the elementary children care for-and a wide variety of indigenous and exotic trees.

Our objectives are to provide an environment that enables a
child to develop into a mature adult and realize his or her full
potential; one that will assist the child`s endeavors toward
independence and intellectual growth; and provides the
opportunityfor the child to develop self-reliance, self-esteem and
confidence,as well as his or her sense of order, dexterity and
sensory motorskills. We achieve this by providing an atmosphere of
freedom within limits so that a child can develop self-discipline
and one that aids the child`s development of respect for one`s
self,others and the surrounding environment and consequently the
whole world.
Our commitment to the student encourages independent action in
the pursuit of learning, and protects the opportunity to provide
for participation in educational programs without regard to
race,sex, color, creed or national origin.

MANJ is an amazing authentic Montessori school. The children learn great coping skills, executive functioning skills and self care skills. My children are growing into highly social, confident humans who have an innate joy of learning. They learn to take care of themselves and then care for the environment around them from a very young age. And they seem to enjoy doing this.

Not always " parent friendly" but 110% student friendly. Any problems/issues were created by other parents not wanting to follow the philosophy of Montessori. If you don't want to follow the tried and true rules then just dump your kid at any kiddie day care center. Just don't wonder why your child has behavioral problems!

My years at this school were the amazing foundation that encouraged me and gave me the self confidence to achieve my dreams. The teachers and the administrative staff were well trained in Montessori values and the school administrator did not pay "lip service" to AMI core philosophy.
