If you are looking for a school where your child will be happy, challenged and ahead of the game, The Seashore School is the place to be. For 38 years, we have been giving students the strongest, most well-rounded start you'll find anywhere at a tuition that offers more for the money than any other school in the area. Seashore is designed to make learning fun and give children endless opportunities to discover new talents, expand their horizons, gain insights, look at things from different perspectives, build confidence, make lasting friendships and develop the skills to excel academically, athletically and socially. From preschool through eighth grade, we offer advanced, diversified curriculums that include foreign language, technology, science lab, music, art, physical education and year-round swim lessons, plus specialized training in drama, dance and singing for those interested in performing arts. Our approach to education is so succesful, students typically perform a grade above their peers, score in the top percent of standardized exams, win academic competitions like a 2011 Silver Medal from Columbia Scholastic Press Association at Columbia University's Graduate School of Journalism, take first in the Spring 2010 and Fall 2009 Marine Academy of Science and Technology (MAST) Middle School Tournaments, are recognized nationally for academic achievement and gain acceptance into the high schools of their choice -- including top ranked High Technology High School, Biotechnology, Allied Health & Science, Communications, MAST and Christian Brothers Academy.

School Notes:

    • Seashore is the only school that offers an entire campus for preschool and another for pre-kindergarten with bright classrooms, computer and science labs, indoor heated pools, gyms, state of the art gymmastics equipment and playgrounds.
    • Our Full-Day Kindergarten includes extras most schools do not offer at this level like foreign language, hands-on experiments in our science lab, computer lab, year-round swim lessons and an advanced reading program with proven results. By mid year most children read on their own and by the end of the year can recognize nearly 1,000 words.
    • In addition to a strong academic curriculum, aspiring young actors can take drama, dance and singing lessons needed to put on professionally produced full-scale productions. As part of their program they go to Broadway plays and take workshops with stars in the shows they see.
    • Seashore offers an award winning education. Students won a 2011 Silver Medal from Columbia Scholastic Press Association at Columbia University's Graduate School of Journalism for their student newspaper Seashore Student Views. They also took first place in the Marine Academcy of Science and Technology Middle School Tournaments.
    • In addition to its exceptional education, Seashore offers a wholesome, family environment free of the typical middle school experimenting that can derail lives. Students develop close  friendships with children who are so focused on athletics, the arts and hobbies ranging from horseback riding to fencing, dance, singing, community and professional theater and competitive skating that veering off course is not on their radar.
    • For parents convenience, we offer free door-to-door transportation, free childcare from 7:30-9a.m. for those who have to be at work early, extended care until 6p.m. and a 12-month plan that covers school, camp and everything inbetween at a substantial savings.>

School Reviews:

  • Recommended May 13,2013 - We love this school. Our daughter is in the Pre-K program and she is doing fantastic. The class sizes are small, there is door to door transportations and tons of extras (swimming, gym, writing/reading, science, yoga, gym, Spanish, computers, etc...). She is learning so much and obtaining great confidence.*-Posted by Parent *
  • Recommended January 31,2013 - Excellent english, math, and arts programs. Outstanding swimming training/coaching with indoor and outdoor pools, exceptional athletics program with interesting variants like wall climbing, etc. Small school where everyone knows each other so kids don''t slip through the cracks. While they have them, their computer and foreign languages are weak compared to Ranney School. Their summer camp is the best I could find in NJ with activities from surfing to sailing to beach, to swimming, basketball, etc. with things to do on rainy days. They have coverage before and after schools, so if both parents work, they can attend from 7:30am to 6pm. Overall, excellent private school with supportive teachers and interesting activities.*-Posted by Parent *

Make Summer a Special Time! Make Summer a Special Time!
If you have children in private school, then you are most likely looking at three months, perhaps even longer, which you must fill with activities of one kind or another during the long summer break.
