Waterfront Montessori

History

Waterfront Montessori was founded in 2003 by some Jersey City mothers who were frustrated by both the limited education options and the lack of enrichment activities that were locally available. We set out to create what we did want in a school: A place where our children could get an exceptional education; a place where the activities we wanted for them - art, music, theater, foreign languages, movement - were either part of the curriculum or otherwise offered; a place with talented and highly qualified teachers who would guide our children; and, a place in which we were confident our children would be as well off, if not better off, than in our own care. In the spring of 2013, Waterfront Montessori was designated an IB World School, joining a select group of schools that share a common educational philosophy and a commitment to the high quality, challenging, international education that we believe is critical for today's students.
