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

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.
