Tessa International School

We loved the French Preschool program at Tessa for our daughter. She thoroughly enjoyed the curriculum, her classmates, the learning environment, and her teachers. The aftercare and administrative staff are accommodating and caring. We highly recommend it to someone looking for an IB-certified PYP program in Hoboken.

My daughter is making steady and solid progress in acquiring literacy skills in both English and Spanish. Her understanding of culture and the importance of diversity is strengthened unit by unit. We Love the Teachers and Community at Tessa!

It is the second year that my son goes to this school and he is really happy there, he feels safe, and motivated and learns more every day... the teachers are very committed to the kids and show them a lot of love and kindness... It is an excellent option if we want a quality education and love for our kids.

We enrolled our son in Grade K Tessa and he could not be happier. He is speaking Spanish, has friends, reading both in English and Spanish, and looks forward to school. We could not recommend Tessa enough.

Our daughter started at Tessa this fall and loves it. She is in the PreK2 Spanish program. Her teachers are fantastic educators and caring people. She talks about her friends and teachers constantly. The school has a great community as well. We feel very fortunate to be able to send her to Tessa!

We have been at Tessa for the past 4 years and we love it. We`ve had a fantastic experience thanks to the amazing teachers, the IB curriculum, the bright and clean facilities, and the overall Tessa community. Our daughters are 100 percent bilingual and they continue to grow their academic qualities as well as their whole being. One of the main reasons we chose Tessa was the teachers, who are affectionate and caring and in constant communication with us. We truly recommend it to all our friends.

We got to know Tessa shortly after moving to Hoboken about 3 years ago. Our son entered Pre-K4 in September 2020; our daughter started Pre-K3 in September 2021. Our experience with the school has been excellent. We`ve encountered the most wonderful teachers. They have all been educators who truly love being in the classroom with kids, and they go the extra distance to ensure each student is encouraged and motivated in a way that resonates. While imparting knowledge and critical developmental skills, the teachers are also kind, generous, and compassionate. Both of our kids were happy going to school each morning and also eager to talk about what they learned when coming home each afternoon - or insist on rehearsing the song for the upcoming concert! Tessa is a tremendous school for parents in the Hoboken area who are interested in bilingual education. We consider ourselves fortunate to be part of the Tessa community - awesome and inclusive families, phenomenal teachers, and a supportive administration.

Tessa was my son`s first school. It`s been such a nurturing place for two years old. We had a bumpy start, but the administration remained professional and supportive throughout. The teachers were always kind and patient. They helped my boy to acclimate in a big way. Now, the cherry on top: my son picked up a brand new language - thx to the immersion program.

Tessa does a great job at guiding the students in a loving manner and is very aligned with my parenting style- they do great at communicating with parents and keeping them safe (ie: Covid protocols).

We are very pleased with the education Tessa has been providing for our son. We feel they offer an environment in which he can thrive and shine. In the few months he`s been there, his knowledge of Spanish has grown tremendously. We love hearing him count and sing in Spanish! And we can tell the teachers and administration care about each and every one of the students; he is genuinely happy to go to school each day. We are very happy to be a part of the Tessa family!
