Jean Avery

Director Of 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.


We look forward to seeing you soon.
